Sweet Cornmeal Cake Brazilian-Style

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.

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.
