Bolo de fubá (lit. 'Maize flour cake'), also known as Bolo de milho (lit. 'Corn cake'), is a traditional Brazilian cake made with fubá. Fubá is a Brazilian Portuguese word for rice, cassava,[1] or maize flour that is derived from the Kimbundu word for flour,[citation needed] which is what enslaved Africans called dry milled corn.[2]
This cake was created in the Brazilian colonial era as an alternative to cakes that relied on expensive wheat flour that had to be imported from Portugal. It spread throughout Brazil as the country expanded inwards from the coast.[citation needed]
The cake is associated with rural Brazil and is often eaten in the afternoon alongside coffee or tea. It is also common at Festa Juninas as the festivities coincide with the harvest of corn in Brazil.[3]
The simplicity and prevalence of the cake throughout the country has led to several variations to the basic recipe to include ingredients such as anise, goiabada, and cheese.[4]
