Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh cassava at local vegetable markets or specialized produce shops. If you cannot find fresh cassava, frozen grated cassava is a suitable substitute. Parmesan cheese and other basic pantry staples are available at any general grocery store.
Preparation method
- Start by beating the margarine, sugar, and egg yolks until you obtain a homogeneous cream.
- Add the grated cassava, the Parmesan cheese, and the pinch of salt, mixing everything very well.
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the batter to make the cake lighter.
- Pour the mixture into a previously greased pan.
- Bake for about 45 minutes or until the top is golden and the cake is firm.
Observations
This recipe is perfect for serving alongside a fresh cup of coffee. The secret lies in combining the natural creaminess of the cassava with the subtle savory notes of Parmesan cheese, resulting in a perfectly balanced sweet treat that is remarkably easy to prepare.
