Sweet Cornmeal Cake Brazilian-Style
Share recipe
Description
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.

- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
