Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with unsalted butter.
In a blender, combine the fresh corn kernels and milk. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the blended corn mixture to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
In another bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until well incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve the bolo de milho as a delightful low-sodium treat!
