- Start by beating the margarine, sugar, and egg yolks together until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous cream.
- Add the grated cassava, the Parmesan cheese, and the pinch of salt, mixing everything thoroughly.
- Beat the egg whites into stiff peaks separately and fold them gently into the batter to ensure the cake remains light.
- Pour the mixture into a previously greased baking pan.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is firm.
