They are not only served at weddings but also at various celebrations across Brazil, showcasing the country's love for sweets.

1

Peneirar 3 egg yolks and let them drain naturally without pressing them.

2

Reserve the 3 egg whites in a separate bowl.

3

Measure 60 g of sugar and set aside.

4

Measure 45 g of potato starch and set aside.

5

Measure 30 g of wheat flour and set aside.

6

Add 2 ml of baking powder and 2 ml of vanilla extract to the ingredients.

7

Beat the egg whites until they double in size and become fluffy.

8

Add the drained egg yolks to the beaten egg whites, ensuring no skin remains.

9

Gradually add the sugar and potato starch to the mixture while the mixer is running.

10

Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl as needed.

11

Once combined, switch to a whisk and gently fold in the sifted wheat flour, then the vanilla extract, and finally the baking powder, all in a gentle, bottom-to-top motion.

12

Prepare a baking pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper, allowing the paper to extend over the edges.

13

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place it in the oven to bake, keeping an eye on it as it bakes quickly.

14

Mix 70 g of powdered sugar with 30 g of water to create a glaze.

15

Once the cake is slightly cooled, brush the glaze over the top to create a sugary crust.

16

Cut the baked cake into 5 cm diameter disks using a cutter.

17

Remove the disks from the pan using the parchment paper for easy lifting.

18

Optionally, brush the disks with more glaze before assembling the well-known 'bem casados'.

19

Use any leftover cake scraps to create a dessert in a jar or enjoy them as a treat.
