Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined—do not overmix to ensure a light and tender texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the corn bread cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve warm. It pairs wonderfully with butter, jam, or a drizzle of honey.
