Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh or frozen grated cassava in the produce or frozen food sections of local wet markets (palengke) or supermarkets. Choose high-quality parmesan cheese from the dairy aisle for the best flavor balance.
Preparation method
- Start by creaming together the margarine, sugar, and egg yolks 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 batter into a greased baking pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is firm.
Observations
This recipe is a perfect companion for a fresh pot of coffee. The secret lies in balancing the inherent creaminess of the grated cassava with the savory hint of parmesan cheese, resulting in a well-balanced treat that is surprisingly simple to whip up.
