Cornmeal Cake

Malu's Note:

I have been using this recipe for many years and is the best I came across so far. Very easy to make, very moist and taste fantastic. Cornemeal cake is very common in Brazil , where I come from and goes very nice with a cup of fresh brewed coffee or even a nice cup of tea.

This is the best cornmeal cake I have ever made. I did them in muffin tins and baked them on 350 degrees for 18-22 minutes. They were a hit and my husbands knew from the first bite that I had did something different. We are doing renovations and I feed the crew, they just kept on eating them with molasses after they ate their stew.

I didn't follow the recipe correctly and just added the eggs without seperating them! It still came out great and my family loved it!
