Brazilian Cornmeal Cake Dairy Free

Cornmeal cake and cherries these are Grandpa’s two favourite dessert and so on the occasion of his birthday we decided to combine these two foods and went looking for sweet cornmeal recipes. 

 There was cornmeal dumplings, cornmeal scones, muffins and savory cornmeal cake and no sweet cornmeal recipes.

Our next search was for unusual cornmeal recipes and it was here we found Brazilian Cornmeal Cake.

This appears to be a common recipe as we found numerous recipes and You Tube videos all with similar ingredients.  

We worked with all the recipes we came up with a dairy free recipe that we have now added to the family recipe book.

This cake has a wonderful custard top with a crisp cornmeal crust.
