Ingredients

1 pound cassava (yucca), peeled and shredded
4 medium eggs
1 cup creamy coconut milk
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup vegetable oil
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cups self-rising flour
1 ⅓ cups freshly grated coconut

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Mix cassava, eggs, coconut milk, sugar, vegetable oil, and salt together well in a large bowl. Stir in flour and grated coconut. Pour into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool and serve.

Cook's Notes:

If using all-purpose flour, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon baking powder.

Use a zester tool to scrape or shred the coconut from the half-shell.
