Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or baking dish.

Gather all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process—trust me, it makes everything easier!

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Use a whisk or a fork to blend these dry ingredients evenly—this ensures your cake has a consistent texture.

Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract eggs.

Pour the mixture into the bowl with the gradually wet ingredients

Stir gently with a wooden spoon until completely combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and tender.

Step 4: Pour and Bake

The mixture is poured into the pan in the form of circles and evenly distributed with a tablespoon.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Carefully remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes.

Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, or serve it warm for that fresh-from-the-oven goodness.

Pro Tip:

For a delightful crust, sprinkle a light dusting of sugar over the top of the batter before baking. This creates a subtle, caramelized crunch that pairs perfectly with the soft interior.
