Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1.5 cups sweet corn kernels
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup grated coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a blender, combine the sweet corn kernels, coconut milk, eggs, and melted butter. Blend until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, coconut flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to mix well.
Pour the blended corn mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the grated coconut gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the bolo de milho to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve your gluten-free bolo de milho as a delicious snack or sweet treat.
