About Mais cake
Mais cake, originating from Brazilian cuisine, is a traditional corn-based dessert celebrated for its simplicity and rich flavor. Its primary ingredients typically include maize flour (or cornmeal), eggs, sugar, milk, butter, and sometimes grated coconut for added texture and sweetness. Some versions also incorporate baking powder for a light and fluffy consistency. Mais cake is naturally gluten-free when made with pure cornmeal, making it a suitable option for those with gluten sensitivities. Corn is a good source of dietary fiber and essential vitamins like B-complex and antioxidants, contributing to overall health. However, this cake can be high in sugar and saturated fats, depending on the recipe, which should be considered by those watching their caloric intake. Mais cake offers a warm, comforting taste of Brazilian heritage, shining as a delightful treat when enjoyed in moderation.
