Ingredients
-
2 cups of cornflake
-
1 cup of leite
-
1/2 cup oil
-
3 eggs
-
1 cup of sugar
-
1/2 cup grated coconut (optional, for a special touch)
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
Preparation mode
- Preheat the oven at 180 ° C and grease an average shape with butter and flour or use parchment paper.
- In a blender, beat eggs, oil, milk and sugar until smooth.
- With the blender still on, gradually add the corn flake. Beat until the mixture is well incorporated.
- Transfer the dough to a bowl and, with the aid of a spatula, gently mix the baking powder and the grated coconut if using.
- Pour the dough into a greased pan and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden and firm to the touch. Do the toothpick test: If it comes out clean, it’s ready.
- Remove the cake from the oven, let cool for a few minutes and unmold. Serve with coffee or tea.
