Bolo de Rabanada is a delightful Brazilian dessert that combines the flavors of traditional French toast with a moist cake texture. This vegetarian treat is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while offering a unique twist on a beloved classic.

Ingredients

• Stale bread (preferably French or brioche) - 150g
• Milk - 200ml
• Eggs - 2 large
• Sugar - 100g
• Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
• Cinnamon powder - 1 tsp
• Baking powder - 1 tsp
• Butter (for greasing) - 10g
• Powdered sugar (for dusting) - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a small baking dish with butter.
2. Tear the stale bread into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder, and baking powder until well combined.
4. Pour the egg mixture over the torn bread pieces, ensuring they are fully soaked. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the mixture.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
