"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."

Hello. We are the third graders of Japanese high school. We learned about world breakfasts in English textbook. We got interested in cornmeal cake in Brazil and decided to make it. Your recipe was easy to understand and we could make it very well. It was a little too sweet but it matched coffee. We let our teachers try it, and they all said it was yummy. We want to make it again. Thank you!

Indeed, the best cornmeal cake ever ever ever, my daughter loved it and we've eaten nearly half the cake at tea. I've made a few changes to the recipe though: added a teaspoon of vanilla essence and half a cup of grated coconut. Yummy!

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!
