Ingredients

2 cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons margarine
1 cup whole milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup fine yellow cornmeal (fubá)

2 cups granulated sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder
Where to find ingredients
The key ingredient is fine yellow cornmeal, often labeled as 'fubá' or 'fine cornmeal' in international aisles, Latin specialty markets, or well-stocked supermarkets. If you cannot find fine cornmeal, finely ground polenta can serve as a substitute, though it may result in a slightly coarser texture.
Preparation method
- Beat the egg whites in a stand mixer until stiff peaks form
- Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat
- Mix in the egg yolks
- Add the margarine to the mixture
- Pour in the milk
- Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and cornmeal (fubá)
- Continue beating until you have a smooth, well-combined batter
- Gently fold in the baking powder using a large spoon or spatula
- Pour the batter into a pre-greased baking pan
- Place in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C)
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean
