Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan with butter or nonstick spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the cake dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, either plain or with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
