Corncake is a versatile, savory or sweet dish made primarily from cornmeal, eggs, butter, and milk, with variations depending on regional recipes. Originating from Native American and Southern U.S. cuisines, it has become a staple in comfort food traditions. Corncake is often enjoyed as a side dish, snack, or breakfast treat, and can be baked, griddled, or fried. Its nutritional profile depends on preparation; it provides energy from carbohydrates and some protein from eggs and milk, along with fats from butter or oil. Traditional recipes may be enriched with whole-grain cornmeal for extra fiber, but added sugars or excessive fats can make certain versions less healthy. It is naturally gluten-free when made with pure cornmeal, appealing to those with gluten sensitivities. Corncake is best consumed in moderation, especially if paired with nutrient-rich toppings like fresh vegetables, lean proteins, or fruit.
