Ingredients

• 🥚 3 eggs
• 🌽 2 cans corn (drained)
• 🥛 1 can milk
• 🌾 1 can fine cornmeal or flaked corn flour (the flaked version makes the cake crunchier)
• 🍬 1 can sugar
• 1 can vegetable oil
• 🧂 1 pinch salt
• 🥄 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 🧀 Canastra cheese and guava paste (goiabada), to taste

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the 3 eggs with the 2 cans of corn (drained), 1 can of milk, 1 can of cornmeal or flaked corn flour, 1 can of sugar, and 1 can of oil — use the empty corn can itself to measure the rest of the ingredients.
2. Add a pinch of salt, which brings out the sweetness, and the baking powder last, blending just enough to combine — don't overmix.
3. Grease a baking pan and pour in the batter — it will be quite runny, which is normal since the recipe uses no wheat flour.
4. Scatter pieces of Canastra cheese and guava paste on top, letting them sink slightly into the batter.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden.
6. Let it cool slightly before serving — it's even better with the melted cheese and guava paste forming layers inside the cake.

Tip:

Use the empty corn can to measure all the other ingredients — you'll barely dirty any extra dishes.
