🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.25 cups Milk

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth.

4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.

6. Lay the hot dogs across the batter in a single layer. Depending on the size of your hot dogs, you may need to trim them slightly to fit.

7. Pour the remaining batter over the hot dogs, making sure they are fully covered. Smooth the batter with a spatula.

8. If using, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the batter.

9. 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.

10. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

11. Serve warm and enjoy your Corn Dog Cake with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or honey mustard!
