Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or similar-sized dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated cassava, coconut milk, sugar, evaporated milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.
If using grated or shredded young coconut, fold it into the mixture for added texture.
Pour the cassava mixture evenly into the greased baking pan, spreading it out with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding cake is set. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean.
Remove the baking pan from the oven and allow the pudding cake to cool completely at room temperature before slicing.
Cut into squares or rectangles and serve. The pudding cake may be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or chilled, depending on preference.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
