3 cups sugar

Where to find ingredients
Cassava (also known as yuca or aipim) can be found in the produce section of most large supermarkets, often pre-peeled and sometimes frozen. Latin or Brazilian specialty stores are also excellent sources. For the grated Parmesan cheese, you can buy it pre-grated in the dairy aisle or grate a block of Parmesan cheese yourself. Margarine and eggs are standard supermarket items.
Preparation method
- Start by beating the margarine, sugar, and egg yolks until you get a homogeneous cream
- Add the grated cassava, grated 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 for accompanying fresh coffee. The secret lies in the combination of the creaminess of cassava with the slightly salty touch of grated Parmesan cheese, resulting in a balanced and very practical dessert.
