Cuisine Latin American South American Brazilian Sweet Cornmeal Cake Brazilian-Style 4.4 (10) 10 Reviews 4 Photos 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.

Grease and flour a 10-inch round cake pan. 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. 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. In Brazil, people usually mix a pinch of fennel seeds into the batter. This is how my mother makes it. I use walnuts instead, just because I add walnuts to everything. Brown sugar and white sugar can be used interchangeably in this recipe, to taste preference. You can use 2 cups of regular milk, if you don't like coconut milk, in which case the amount of oil should be increased to 1 full cup.
