It looks like “Aguanaboca cake” might actually be a misunderstanding of “água na boca,” which is a Portuguese phrase literally meaning “mouthwatering.” In Brazilian and Portuguese‑language food blogs, “água na boca” is often used as part of a site name or recipe title to suggest delicious, tempting dishes — including cakes — rather than the name of a specific traditional cake itself.

In other words, there isn’t a well‑defined, widely recognized cake called “Aguanaboca cake” as a specific traditional dessert. If you found this term in a recipe title or website niche like Agua na Boca, it’s likely just the site or blog name followed by a cake recipe (e.g., a banana butter cake). (Mouthwatering RECIPES)
If you were thinking of a Portuguese or Brazilian cake recipe that’s “mouthwatering,” here’s one example inspired by common cakes you might see on a site using that phrase:
