Cassava Pone

Good Morning my fellow bloggers and viewers ! Today I'm feeling to make a sort of 'healthy' snack. It's a very popular Trinidadian dessert called cassava pone. It's made from root vegetables so just as you're thinking, the answer is yes. Yes, it is very popular amongst vegetarians.


Ingredients 

1 large coconut
2 tbs butter
2 tbs carnation milk
3 cups cassava ( DO NOT COMPACT)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp essence
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp spice

Method

Cream butter and sugar. Then mix in the carnation and cassava. Following this, add all of the other remaining ingredients in any order you would like too. Do not mix baking powder and spray spam or use butter alone for the bottom of the dish. Additionally, flour should not be placed at the bottom of the dish before baking. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hr until it is perfectly baked with crisp ends and a beautiful golden brown on top.




NB: It is not cake. It is not pudding. Also, use brown sugar and less butter to make it even healthier.

Whip it up !
