How to Make Brazilian Corn Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the corn kernels.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy your delicious Bolo de Milho!
