CORNMEAL CAKE



Cornmeal Cake image

Provided by Susan Herrmann Loomis

Categories     Cake     Dairy     Egg     Bake     Apple     Cornmeal     Fall

Yield Makes 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup (80 ml) milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons coarse yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons unbleached all-purpose flour
Pinch of sea salt
1 large apple, peeled, cored, and cut into thin slices
Green Salad with Oil and Vinegar Dressing

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Pour the melted butter into a 10-inch (25 cm) tart pan and swirl it around so it evenly covers the bottom.
  • 2. Heat the milk in a small saucepan over low heat until it is hot but not boiling. Keep it hot over very low heat.
  • 3. In a large bowl, whisk the egg with the sugar. Then whisk in the cornmeal, flour, and salt. Whisking vigorously, slowly add the hot milk, stirring until combined.
  • 4. Strew the apple slices over the surface of the tart pan. Whisk the cornmeal mixture again and pour it over the apples, shaking the tart pan if necessary, so that the batter evenly covers the surface. The apples slices will stick well above the batter. Bake in the center of the oven until the cake is deep golden on the edges and a lighter golden in the center, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • 5. When the corn cake is cooked, remove it from the oven and serve immediately, with salad alongside.

Tips:

- Use fresh cornmeal for the best flavor and texture. - Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. - Bake the cake in a preheated oven. - Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.

Conclusion:
