Bolo de Fubá Cremoso, or creamy cornmeal cake, is a beloved Brazilian treat known for its unique texture and delightful flavour.

It's an ideal choice for those seeking a taste of Brazil or simply desiring a new twist on classic cake recipes.

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 23x33 cm (9x13 inch) baking pan.

Pro tip: Use parchment paper for easy removal.

2

Mix dry ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Pro tip: Whisk thoroughly to avoid lumps.

3

Blend wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, coconut milk, eggs, melted butter, and cheese until smooth.

Pro tip: Ensure all liquids are well incorporated.

4

Combine mixtures

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Pro tip: Do not overmix to maintain creaminess.

5

Pour and bake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Pro tip: Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.

6

Cool and serve

Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Pro tip: Cooling helps set the creamy texture.
