Very easy and fast to make from scratch and healthy, too. In Brazil, this cake is a favorite along a cup of coffee for breakfast. It is very similar in texture to a cornmeal bread, but only this is a sweet cake instead. Stir your favorite seeds or walnuts into the blended batter before pouring into the pan, if desired.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cornmeal
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 340 degrees F (170 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch round cake pan.
Step 2
Blend cornmeal, sugar, milk, coconut milk, flour, eggs, and vegetable oil in a blender until smooth; add baking powder and blend to integrate. Pour the cornmeal mixture into the prepared cake pan.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
Cook’s Notes:
I use coconut oil but, for neutral flavor, use canola oil.
