  1. Place the diced Meia-Cura cheese (or parmesan cheese) into the blender and use the pulse function until finely chopped. Remove from the blender jar and set aside.

  2. In the blender, add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and salt. Blend briefly to combine.
  3. In a bowl, mix the sweet cassava starch and sour cassava starch. Add half of this mixture directly to the blender where the liquids are and blend. Add the remaining mixture and blend again until a smooth batter forms.

  4. Add half of the chopped Meia-Cura cheese to the blender and pulse just to incorporate.
  5. Pour the batter into a mixing bowl and fold in the remaining chopped Meia-Cura cheese with a spatula.
  6. Add the baking powder last and gently stir to combine.
  7. Grease a 10-inch (26cm) bundt pan (tube pan) with oil. Pour half of the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
  8. Evenly distribute the diced smoked sausage and coalho cheese cubes over the batter.
  9. Cover with the remaining batter and smooth the surface again.
  10. Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese evenly over the top.
  11. Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) for approximately 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool slightly before unmolding and serving.

Note

1 - Cheese Substitutions: If you cannot find Meia-Cura cheese, traditional Parmesan, Pecorino, or Parmigiano-Reggiano work as great substitutes for the batter.

2 - Topping Options: Provolone adds a subtle smoky flavor to the crust, but shredded parmesan or extra Meia-Cura can also be used.

3 - Why Coalho Cheese? Coalho cheese was chosen for the filling because it holds up very well to the heat of the oven and does not completely melt away, guaranteeing distinct, delicious cheese bites with every slice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Stuffed Brazilian Cheese Bread Cake

Expand All:

What is the best type of starch for this recipe?

In this recipe, it is ideal to use both cassava starches together. The combination of sweet cassava starch and sour cassava starch perfectly balances the texture, ensuring the cake rises soft and with adequate elasticity.

Can I make this Brazilian Cheese Bread Cake without filling?

Yes! If you prefer a classic version, simply skip the filling step, pour all the batter into the greased pan, add the cheese topping, and bake directly.

How do I store and reheat the cake?

Store the cake in a closed container. To consume over the next few days, simply heat the slice for a few seconds in the microwave or air fryer so that the cheese filling melts again and the cake regains its softness.
