Ingredients
4 cups grated cassava (yuca)
3 cups sugar
200 g margarine
1 small packet grated Parmesan cheese
4 eggs
1 pinch of salt
3 cups sugar
200 g margarine
1 small packet grated Parmesan cheese
4 eggs

Where to find ingredients
Cassava (yuca) can usually be found in the produce section of most large supermarkets, often labeled as yuca or manioc. For grated Parmesan cheese, check the cheese aisle. If you're looking for a more authentic Brazilian experience or have trouble finding fresh cassava, consider visiting Latin or international food markets. Margarine and eggs are standard grocery items. Specialty Brazilian or Latin American import stores are also good places to check for specific ingredients if needed, though these are generally straightforward items to find in most Western countries.
Preparation method
- Start by beating the margarine, sugar, and egg yolks until you get a homogeneous 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 incorporate 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 a 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 balanced and very practical sweet treat.
