Creamy Cornmeal Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter

  • First, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Meanwhile, grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  • Then, in a blender, mix milk, eggs, butter, and sugar until well combined.
  • Next, add cornmeal, flour, and baking powder, blending until the mixture becomes smooth.

2. Bake the Cake

  • After that, pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  • Now, place it in the oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and set.

3. Cool and Serve

  • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing.
  • At this point, you will notice it forms a creamy layer on the bottom and a firm top, creating a delightful texture.

In summary, this traditional Brazilian cake is not only simple to make but also incredibly delicious. The combination of cornmeal, butter, and milk results in a soft and moist cake, ideal for breakfast or an afternoon coffee break. So, why not try making it today?
