Cassava & Coconut Pone

Cassava and Coconut Pone
Pone is a dense, moist, sticky, spiced Caribbean cassava/yuca dessert. Many recipes often use grated coconut, pumpkin, sweet potato and even carrots in addition to the cassava. In this version I am just using pre-grated cassava and coconut, which saves a lot of time and makes this really easy to put together. Hope you give this one a try! 😊
Ingredients
2 ¼ cups finely grated cassava
½ cup finely grated coconut
1/3 cup brown sugar
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
¼ cup melted salted butter
¾ tsp freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the bottom of a small loaf pan (8 x 4 x 2-inch) with parchment paper and grease well using butter or cooking spray.
2. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
3. Pour into the pan and bake for 45-60 minutes until a cake tester comes out mostly clean- the tester may be sticky after removing and may have a few sticky crumbs.
4. Brush the top of the pone with melted butter (optional). Serve warm.
Tips
1. For this recipe I just used frozen, pre-grated cassava and coconut. Ensure that these ingredients are completely defrosted and at room temperature before using.
2. If using fresh cassava and coconut- use the fine side of a box grater to grate. You may need to squeeze the excess liquid out of the fresh cassava after grating.
3. You can add additional spices like ginger, cardamom, clove if you like.
4. Black pepper might seem like an odd ingredient to have in a sweet dish, but don’t skip it! this gives the pone a really delicious flavour.
