Method:

Pre-heat your oven to 175°C and grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Combine the grated cassava and grated coconut in a large mixing bowl.

Add the brown sugar, melted butter, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix everything together until thoroughly combined. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little milk to moisten it.

If desired, fold in the raisins into the mixture.

Pour the resultant cassava batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Transfer to the centre of your pre-heated oven and bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the pone is golden brown and firm to the touch.

Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the baking dish.

Once cooled, cut the pone into squares or diamond shapes and serve.

The pone can be enjoyed as is, or you can serve it with a few accompaniments such as ice cream, cream or custard.
