2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal or 2 tablespoons white cornmeal

Steps:

  • Position oven rack in the middle of oven; preheat oven to 325°.

  • Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Beat in the creme fraiche just until blended.
  • Whisk in the flour mixture just until blended.
  • Beat the egg whites with clean beaters on med-high speed in a large clean bowl until they form stiff peaks when the beaters are lifted.
  • With a rubber spatula, fold 1/4 of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it.
  • Fold in the remaining whites just until blended; then fold in the blackberries.
  • Transfer the batter to the pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
  • Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • To serve, use a sharp serrated knife to cut the cake into slices.
