1 pinch of salt
3 cups sugar

Where to find ingredients
Cassava (manioc) can be found in specialty food stores or Asian grocers. Parmesan cheese and standard pantry staples like sugar, eggs, and margarine are available in any local supermarket.
Preparation method
- Start by beating the margarine, sugar, and egg yolks together until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Add the grated cassava, Parmesan cheese, and the pinch of salt, mixing everything thoroughly.
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the batter to ensure the cake remains light.
- Pour the mixture into a pre-greased baking tin.
- Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until the top is golden and the cake feels firm to the touch.
Observations
This recipe is an ideal companion for a fresh cup of coffee. The secret lies in combining the natural creaminess of the cassava with a subtle savoury note from the Parmesan cheese, creating a well-balanced sweet cake that is remarkably easy to put together.
