Welcome to Fast2eat! If youâre looking for easy-to-prepare, nutritious, delicious, and Fast-2-eat recipes, then youâre in the right place.
Cornmeal cake (called âBolo de FubĂĄâ) is really popular during Brazilian winter festivities (called âFesta Juninaâ). Since June is the month when corn crops are harvested, the majority of Festa Junina dishes (both sweet and savoury) are made of corn, including the classic Bolo de FubĂĄ.
This Brazilian Cornmeal cake recipe is from my cousin (like my sister) Helo. And yes, there is parmesan cheese in the ingredients, I was surprised seeing that myself, but it works! I would not change a thing! Use the most finely ground cornmeal you can find so that the cake will have a delicate, light texture.
My family loves this cake, especially my daughter. It is super moist, sweet, and full of corn flavour!
It goes great with a cup of coffee. In Brazil, it is a staple for breakfast or for an afternoon snack with coffee. You can also eat it for dessert.
The smell is mind-blowing! As the cake cooks in the oven, it fills the kitchen with a sweet, warm aroma.
You will find that the hardest part is to wait for it to cool! I love it when still warm.
The best thing about this cake is how easy and fast it is to make it from scratch! Itâs a dump-and-blend and no mixer needed, as most Brazilian cakes use the blender instead. It is a breeze to make! You can get this cake in the oven in about 5 minutesâas fast as it takes you to gather the ingredients. It is pretty much effortless with minimum cleanup. I donât know about you, but for me, this is a dream come true!

Notes
The variations include cakes made of cornmeal, fresh corn, canned corn. Some people like to add coconut, coconut milk or cheese, for a moister, richer cake. You can also stir your favourite seeds or walnuts into the blended batter before pouring into the pan if desired. As I suggested in the ingredients, you can make this classic cake even more delicious by adding some guava paste (also really popular in Brazil). There is also an option to add guava syrup over it. Or, if youâre not too keen on going overboard with guava-ness, you can dust some powdered sugar or a mixture of sugar and cinnamon over it! You could eat a different cornmeal cake every day and never get sick of it!
