Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC/gas 4. Butter a 9-in x13in/22-cm/33-cm baking dish (or spray with non-stick spray), and set aside.
- Add all ingredients except the baking powder into your KitchenAid® K400 Blender and cover the blender. Pulse 4 times to mix ingredients. Remove the lid cap, add baking powder, then replace the lid cap and blend on level 5 for 40 seconds. (NOTE: The batter will be very thin and frothy.)
- Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Bake for 40-45 minutes (rotating the pan halfway through), or until the top has puffed up slightly, is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove cake from oven and place on a wire baking rack to cool.
- Make the topping. Mix the cinnamon and powdered sugar together in a small bowl. While the cake is still warm, sift the sugar mixture evenly over the top of the cake. Let the cake sit for at least 15 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
- NOTES: Cake will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container stored at room temperature.

This is a great tasting and simple to make dessert. The cake has a custard or flan consistency, not like any corn cake you've ever ate. The cinnamon-powdered sugar toping adds that extra, churro like texture. However horchata, it's not. Horchata is rice based. But don't let that stop you from making it. Goes perfectly with coffee.

Really good cake, not what I would consider amazing , but good. Great with a cup of coffee. Don't think I will keep this in my recipe log, but glad I made it. I would recomend this to anyone to try. The parmesan cheese is what interested me, but it oddly works well. Make sure you use finely ground corn meal. Other than that I got nothin.
