Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a blender, combine the cornmeal, coconut milk, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, corn kernels, and eggs. Blend until you achieve a smooth mixture.
Once blended, transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Add the baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir well with a spatula or a whisk until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Slice the Dairy-Free Bolo de Milho and serve. Enjoy your delightful dairy-free treat!
