Blend well until you obtain a smooth mixture with no pieces of corn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sift the dry ingredients<\/strong>: In a large bowl, sift the cornmeal, wheat flour, and baking powder. This helps to avoid lumps and makes the batter lighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mix the ingredients<\/strong>: Pour the blender mixture over the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula or whisk until everything is incorporated, without overmixing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prepare the pan<\/strong>: Grease a round or rectangular pan with butter and dust it with cornmeal to prevent the cake from sticking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bake the cake<\/strong>: Pour the batter into the pan and bake in a preheated oven at 180\u00b0C (350\u00b0F) for about 40-50 minutes or until, when a toothpick is inserted into the center, it comes out clean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Let it cool<\/strong>: Remove the cake from the oven and wait until it cools before taking it out of the pan to avoid breakage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Green Corn Cake\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-1068x601.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Tips For an Even More Delicious Cake<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use fresh corn<\/strong>: Fresh green corn provides a more authentic and natural flavor than canned corn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add coconut or cheese<\/strong>: For a special touch, add grated coconut or Parmesan cheese to the batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Substitute the milk<\/strong>: If you want a creamier cake, replace half of the milk with coconut milk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t open the oven too early<\/strong>: Avoid opening the oven during the first 30 minutes to ensure the cake rises properly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sift the dry ingredients<\/strong>: This makes the batter lighter and more homogeneous, avoiding lumps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flavor with citrus<\/strong>: For a more enveloping aroma, add lemon or orange zest to the batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sweeten differently<\/strong>: If you prefer a more rustic cake, replace part of the sugar with honey or grated rapadura.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose butter over oil<\/strong>: Use butter instead of oil for a richer flavor and a different texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add crunch<\/strong>: If you like a crunchy touch, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the cake before baking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cover after baking<\/strong>: To prevent the cake from drying out, cover it with a clean cloth while cooling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Beat the egg whites separately<\/strong>: For an even fluffier cake, beat the egg whites separately until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Do not overmix<\/strong>: Avoid overmixing the batter after adding the baking powder, as this can compromise the cake&#8217;s rise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use sweetened condensed milk<\/strong>: If you desire a sweeter, more pronounced flavor, add one tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk to the batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Try a different texture<\/strong>: If you prefer a cake with a more rustic texture, replace half of the fine cornmeal with coarse cornmeal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Variations of Green Corn Cake<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Green Corn Cake Without Wheat Flour<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gluten-free version:<\/strong> For those who desire a lighter option, replacing wheat flour with cornstarch or additional cornmeal results in a different texture, but equally delicious. Adjust the liquids in the recipe to ensure an ideal consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green Corn Cake with Sweetened Condensed Milk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More creaminess and sweetness:<\/strong> If you enjoy a moister and sweeter cake, sweetened condensed milk is an excellent ingredient. For a perfect balance, reduce the amount of sugar and milk in the recipe. The result will be a cake with a more velvety texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blender Green Corn Cake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Convenience and speed:<\/strong> Ideal for those looking for a hassle\u2010free preparation, this version allows all the ingredients to be simply blended in a blender before baking. For an even more intense flavor, try adding grated coconut or Parmesan cheese to the batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-receita-facil-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-receita-facil-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-receita-facil-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-receita-facil-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-receita-facil-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-receita-facil-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-receita-facil-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-receita-facil-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-receita-facil.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">a delicious green corn cake recipe.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>How to Serve and Store the Green Corn Cake<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>green corn cake<\/strong> is amazing when served with a hot coffee, tea, or milk. It can also be enjoyed with butter, jam, or honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To store, keep it in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to 7 days in the refrigerator. If you prefer to freeze it, wrap it well in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Origin and Tradition of the Green Corn Cake<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>green corn cake<\/strong> has its roots in rural cuisine, being highly appreciated at June festivals and family gatherings. Its main ingredient, <strong>green corn<\/strong>, is one of the most consumed cereals in Brazil and features in many traditional recipes. Corn was brought by indigenous peoples and incorporated into colonial cuisine, becoming essential in dishes such as pamonha, curau, and, of course, corn cake. This delicacy combines simplicity and flavor, evoking nostalgic memories of grandma\u2019s house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions About Green Corn Cake<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I use canned corn instead of fresh corn?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! Canned corn is a practical alternative. Just drain it well before using to avoid excess liquid in the batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I make the cake fluffier?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a lighter cake, beat the eggs well before adding them to the batter. It is also important not to overmix after adding the baking powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the ideal baking time?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The time may vary depending on the oven, but generally 40 to 50 minutes at 180\u00b0C (350\u00b0F) is sufficient. Keep an eye on it and perform the toothpick test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-delicioso-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-delicioso-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-delicioso-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-delicioso-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-delicioso-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-delicioso-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-delicioso-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-delicioso-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/espaconatelie.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bolo-de-milho-verde-delicioso.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">a delicious green corn cake recipe.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>green corn cake<\/strong> is a classic recipe that pleases everyone.
