Ingredients

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan with butter or nonstick spray. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the cake dense.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature, either plain or with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
