Welcome to my kitchen and channel, What to Cook.

Introduce the dish, cassava pone, and express love for cassava.

State the ingredients: 2 cups grated cassava, 1/2 cup grated coconut, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tbsp butter, 1/2 cup grated pumpkin, and 3 dashes of cinnamon.

Add all ingredients into one mixing bowl: grated cassava, grated coconut, sugar, grated pumpkin, butter, and cinnamon.

Mix everything together in the bowl, taking time due to the bowl size.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.

Mention the importance of removing the string from the cassava to avoid bitterness.

State that the butter will melt in the oven and that no extra water was added due to prior blending with water for the coconut and pumpkin.

Place the baking dish in the oven.
