This cake tastes similar to cornbread but sweeter, creamier and cheesier! You take a bite and it melts in your mouth, tickling your taste buds. I especially like to eat it while it’s still warmï¿½ but lots of people prefer it at room temperature or even cold. The best thing about this recipe – other than it being amazingly delicious – is that it is made in the blender. Seriouslyï¿½ you just put all the ingredients in the blender and that’s it! Your cake will be in the oven in 5 minutes or less!

Ingredients:

1 cup fine cornmeal
3 Tbsp all purpose flour
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1 can sweet condensed milk

1/2 cup sugar
2 Tbsp salted butter
3/4 cup grated parmesan
1 tsp baking powder
Confectioners sugar and cinnamon to sprinkle on top of the cake (optional)

Preparation:

Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees.
Add all the ingredients, with the exception of the baking powder, to the blender and blend for a few minutes until everything is combined.
Add the baking powder and blend again for 5 more minutes.
Transfer the dough to a greased and floured 9X13 cake pan and bring it to the oven for about 40-45 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
If you want, sprinkle some confectioner sugar mixed with cinnamon on top of your cake.
