Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the almond milk, eggs, melted butter, canned corn, and vanilla extract until it forms a uniform liquid mixture.
Gradually stir the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, combining them into a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps and the batter is well mixed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the low-carb bolo de milho as a delightful treat with coffee or tea.
