Today's destination is Barbados, birthplace of singer Rihanna. And I'm going to introduce you to a cassava-based sweet that is very common there and easy to make: cassava pone.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups of dry cassava flour
• 2 cups of shredded coconut
• 1½ cup of sugar

• 2 eggs
• 3 cups of milk
• 115g butter (melted)
• ½ teaspoon of orange peel
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
• 1 ½ teaspoons mixed spice

Directions:

1. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, beaten eggs and vanilla extract.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well.
4. Pour the mixture into a well-greased shallow baking dish. Brush with sugar and water.
5. Bake at 150°C for 1.5 hours or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.
