This cake tastes a little like cornbread, but with a smoother texture. The sweetness comes from added sugar, of course, but also from corn milk, with is quite honeyed on its own. There are only two added tablespoons of oil, but if you want to make the cake a bit more decadent, you can soak the layers in full-fat coconut milk. Then it becomes almost like a tres leches cake, which, incidentally, I hated growing up, but obviously like now. The soaking is purely optional, as the cake is delicious either way.
