Notes

Freshly grated yuca/cassava or pre grated frozen cassava/yuca can be used in this recipe.
You can use Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix and you don't have to use any of the other spices.
Leftover cake needs to be stored in the refrigerator. Place in an airtight container or wrap with plastic wrap, and keep for up to one week.
Honduran Yuca Cake is best when reheated for 1 minute in the microwave.
