Where to find ingredients
To make this authentic Brazilian cake in Botswana, you will find most essentials at major supermarkets like Choppies or Pick n Pay. Look for 'fine yellow cornmeal' in the baking or maize meal aisle; it is the closest equivalent to Brazilian fubá. If you cannot find fine grade, you can pulse coarser maize meal in a blender. All-purpose flour and basic dairy items like milk and margarine are readily available in any grocery store.
