Barbados Mini Cassava Pone (Yucca Cakes)
Barbados Mini Cassava Pone (Yucca Cakes)
Bajan Cassava Pone also known as Yucca Cakes is an aromatic delicacy cobbled together with painstaking precision.
Beneath its tenderly brown baked surface lies the pulsing heart of this signature offering; Cassava.
With enticingly rich flavour and lively almond undertones, its unique texture balances the essence of this delicious Bajan offering. Pulling together hand shredded moist coconut, sugar, and secret ingredients with exotic origins (none of which you’ll find at Tesco's), this offering provides a truly unique experience amongst the milieu of oft-recycled pastry choices.
Terrific as a traditional dessert. An exotic alternative to Coffee Cake and Standard pastry fare. Perfect slightly warmed, room temperature, or even cold.
The cassava pone is always made to order from a recipe that has been handed down from generation's of bakers.

I absolutely loved these Bajan Mini Cassava Pone! The texture was perfect - moist, dense, and rich, with just the right amount of sweetness. Each bite transported me back to the islands with its authentic flavour and you can really taste the quality and tradition in every cake. Whether you're familiar with Bajan cuisine or trying it for the first time, these yucca cakes are a must-try! They were a hit at my family gathering and I’ll definitely be ordering more.
