Isn’t it magnificent? Now that we’ve established that it looks like a dream, let’s move on to making this magnificent cake. Grab your apron because it’s time to bake! You’ll need the following ingredients:
Ingredients
- 2 cups of fresh corn (or canned, if you’re feeling lazy – we won’t judge)
- 1 cup coconut milk (the holiday in a can)
- 1 cup sugar (or more, if you’re feeling extra sweet)
- 1/4 cup of melted butter (because butter makes everything better)
- 3 eggs (the original superheroes in the kitchen)
- 1 cup of cornmeal (for that authentic Brazilian flair)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (to help it rise like your dreams)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (the seasoning sensei)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (about 175°C for those who prefer numbers with letters).
- In a blender, combine corn, coconut milk, sugar, melted butter, and eggs. Blend until smooth – like your favorite smooth jazz.
- In a separate bowl, mix cornmeal, baking powder, and salt together, kind of like a dance party for dry ingredients.
- Pour the blended mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir well to combine—make sure no lumpy guests crash the party!
- Grease a baking dish (I hope you didn’t skip this step! No one wants a cake that plays hard to get).
- Pour the batter into the greased dish and smooth out the top like you’re trying to impress a date.
- Bake in the oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (and no, that’s not an invitation to eat it with a fork yet!).
- Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool down for a bit. The aroma will make it hard, but just be patient—good things come to those who wait!
And voila! Your Brazilian Sweet Corn Cake with Coconut is ready to rock your world. Serve it at parties, family gatherings, or just for yourself on a lazy Sunday (we won’t tell). Enjoy the sweet moments and happy baking!
