Very easy and fast to make from scratch and healthy, too. In Brazil, this cake is a favorite alongside a cup of coffee for breakfast. It is very similar in texture to a cornmeal bread, but only this is a sweet cake instead. Stir your favorite seeds or walnuts into the blended batter before pouring into the pan, if desired.
