How to make Peeled Mané Cake:

Place all ingredients in a large bowl: cassava dough, sugar, milk, cheese, coconut, butter, eggs and salt. Mix well with a spoon, spatula or mixer.

Tip: Cassava mass is the result of raw and grated or processed cassava. In some markets you can already find this product ready.

The result will be a creamy dough with little binding between the ingredients (with a cut look), but don't worry because it will work! Place in a cake pan measuring approximately 20 x 30 cm, greased with butter.

Tip: This recipe does not use baking powder or baking soda.

Take the peeled mané cake to bake in a preheated oven at 180ºC for 40 minutes or until golden on top. Then remove and let cool completely before cutting.
