The Venezuelan cachapa is a delicious corn cake, typical of Venezuela, made with ground tender corn kernels. This easy and quick recipe is perfect for a light dinner or a hearty breakfast. The choclo, also known as sweet corn, is the star ingredient and gives it a sweet flavor and smooth texture that everyone loves.
To prepare it, the corn is shucked and processed in the blender without over-blending, seeking a rustic texture. Then the dough is seasoned with a pinch of salt and sugar to taste. It is cooked on a budare or skillet with a little oil, forming a medium-thick cake so it cooks through without burning. It is flipped carefully and browned on both sides.
