Where to find ingredients
Cassava (also known as yuca or aipim in Brazil) is widely available in most supermarkets, often found in the produce section. It's typically sold fresh, either whole or peeled and cut. If you can't find fresh cassava, frozen grated cassava is also a common option in the frozen foods aisle. Grated Parmesan cheese is usually found in the dairy or cheese section of any supermarket. Margarine and eggs are standard supermarket items.
Preparation method
- Start by beating the margarine, sugar, and egg yolks until you get a smooth cream
- 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 baking pan
- Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until golden brown and firm
Observations
This recipe is ideal to accompany fresh coffee. The secret lies in the combination of the creaminess of the cassava with the slightly salty touch of Parmesan cheese, resulting in a well-balanced and very practical sweet treat.
