Cornbread Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- Optional: 1/4 cup honey for extra sweetness
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (204°C) and grease an 8-inch cake pan or a similar baking dish.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and oil (or butter). If you like your cornbread sweet, add the honey to this mixture.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving. This cornbread is great on its own, or you can serve it with a bit of butter and honey on top.
This recipe creates a moist, fluffy cornbread with a slightly sweet flavor, perfect for a side dish or a simple snack. Enjoy baking!
