Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Allow the cornbread cake to cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, honey, or jam if desired.
