CORN CAKE

🌽 Corn Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cornmeal (yellow or white)

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ cup sugar (add more if you like it sweeter)

• 2 large eggs

• 1 cup milk (whole or buttermilk for richness)

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (or neutral oil)

• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for sweetness)

• 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8-inch square baking pan.

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat eggs, then whisk in milk, melted butter, vanilla, and honey (if using).

4. Combine: Stir wet mixture into dry until just combined. Fold in the corn kernels.

5. Bake: Pour batter into the pan. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Cool slightly before slicing.

Serving Ideas:

• Drizzle with honey or maple syrup.

• Serve warm with butter.

• Pair with chili, barbecue, or fried chicken.

• Top with a little powdered sugar or whipped cream for a dessert-style twist.
