Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 0.5 cup Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated Sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter, melted and cooled
- 0.5 cup Greek Yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for lactose intolerance)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole Kernel Corn, drained (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 0.25 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, Greek yogurt, and eggs until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the whole kernel corn, milk, and vanilla extract until evenly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to smooth the top into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the corn cake to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a sweet treat or as an accompaniment to a savory meal.
