Practical Delicious Mug Corn Cake

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- The use of fine cornmeal provides the soft texture characteristic of traditional homemade corn cakes. - Vigorous beating of the egg with the liquid ingredients ensures aeration and removes traces of egg smell. - Cooking for 2 minutes on high power solidifies the dough without losing the typical moisture of the ground cereal.

Ingredients

Main Course

4 tablespoons of cornmeal
4 tablespoons of sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon of oil
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
Optional: 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut or chocolate chips

Instructions

Main Course

In a large mug, add the cornmeal and the sugar. Mix well.

Add the egg and mix until you get a homogeneous dough.

Then, add the milk and oil. Mix again until there are no lumps.

Finally, add the baking powder and mix gently.

If desired, incorporate the shredded coconut or chocolate chips into the mixture.

Take the mug to the microwave and cook for 2 minutes on high power.

After the time, check if the cake is cooked (it should be firm to the touch).

Let cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Chef Tips

- Choose fine cornmeal or fine corn flour so that the cake cooks evenly and without rough grains on the palate. - Add the 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut suggested in the ingredients to ensure greater internal creaminess to the cake. - Wait about 2 minutes before consuming, as the inside of the mug retains a lot of heat and can burn the palate.

Variations

- Cheese filling: position a small cube of Minas cheese or coalho cheese in the center of the dough before the microwave. - Creamy version with guava paste: insert small cubes of guava paste rolled in flour in the middle of the mug to melt. - Touch of fennel: add half a coffee spoon of fennel seeds to the dough for a typical June festival aroma.

Substitutions

- Traditional corn flour can be replaced by pre-cooked fine cornmeal or corn flakes hydrated with milk. - Granulated sugar can be replaced by crushed demerara sugar or cane molasses in the same proportion as the recipe. - Cow's milk can be swapped for whole coconut milk to intensify the rustic and tropical notes of the sweet.

How to Store

Store the mug covered at room temperature for up to 12 hours or refrigerated for up to 2 days in a covered container. When consuming cold, heat for 15 seconds in the microwave to restore moisture and softness.

Can You Freeze It?

It is not recommended to freeze mug cakes in the microwave, as the corn texture tends to become dry and crumbly after homemade defrosting.

What to Serve With

Perfect with hot coffee brewed in a cloth filter, café pingado, or very aromatic lemon balm tea. To accompany in the afternoon, serve with a slice of fresh white cheese or creamy requeijão.
