2 cups of white flour
2 beaten eggs
1 cup of cornmeal
1 cup of sweet milk
1 cup of butter
3 teaspoonfuls of baking
0,5 cup of sugar, powder
1.Prepare the dry ingredients:
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. This ensures that the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
Stir in the cornmeal and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients thoroughly.
2.Cream the butter and sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer or a sturdy wooden spoon until it's smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the creamed butter, continuing to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
3.Add the eggs and vanilla:
Incorporate the beaten eggs into the butter-sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully integrated.
If using, add the vanilla extract and mix until evenly distributed.
4.Combine wet and dry ingredients:
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the sweet milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. This helps to maintain the batter's structure.
Mix gently after each addition, just until the ingredients are combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense cake.
5.Pour the batter into the pan:
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly, ensuring it reaches all corners of the pan for uniform baking.
6.Bake the cake:
Place the pan in the preheated oven.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Rotate the pan halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
