- Add the grated cassava, parmesan cheese, and the pinch of salt, mixing everything very well.
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form separately and gently fold them into the batter to make the cake lighter.
- Pour the mixture into a previously greased cake pan.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the cake is golden and firm.
Observations
This recipe is a wonderful pairing for a freshly brewed cup of coffee. The secret lies in the harmony between the natural creaminess of the grated cassava and the slight saltiness of the parmesan cheese, resulting in a balanced, practical, and truly delicious dessert.
