Where to find ingredients
Purchase cassava (also known as aipim or yuca) at grocery stores and specialty markets. Grated Parmesan cheese is available in the dairy section of most supermarkets. Margarine, sugar, eggs, and salt are common pantry staples found in all food stores.
Preparation method
- Start by beating the margarine, sugar, and egg yolks until a smooth cream is obtained
- Add the grated cassava, Parmesan cheese, and the pinch of salt, mixing everything very well
- Beat the egg whites separately until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the batter to make the cake lighter
- Pour the mixture into a greased pan
- Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until golden brown and firm
Observations
This recipe is ideal for accompanying a fresh coffee. The secret lies in the combination of the creaminess of cassava with the slightly salty touch of Parmesan cheese, resulting in a balanced and very practical sweet to make.
