Cast-Iron Cornmeal Cake with Buttermilk Cream

Cast-Iron Cornmeal Cake with Buttermilk Cream

Pouring the batter into a hot skillet ensures a perfectly cooked, dark golden–bottomed crust with a fluffy, golden interior. To check for doneness, rely on the visual cues for browning—a cake tester will come out clean before the cake is cooked through.

Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs

How to Make It:

Step 1:

Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in oven; preheat oven to 425°F. Let skillet preheat in oven 15 minutes.

Step 2:

Whisk together eggs and buttermilk in a large bowl until frothy, about 1 minute. Whisk in brown sugar and cane syrup. Set buttermilk mixture aside.

Step 3:

Whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl. Add cornmeal mixture to buttermilk mixture; stir using a wooden spoon until combined.

Step 4:  

Carefully remove preheated skillet from oven. Add butter to skillet; swirl skillet to melt butter, evenly coating bottom and sides of skillet. Pour melted butter into cornmeal batter in bowl; quickly stir to incorporate. Pour batter into greased hot skillet; immediately transfer to preheated oven.

Step 5:   

Reduce oven temperature to 375°F; bake cake until top is evenly browned and sides are dark golden and pull away from skillet, 30 to 35 minutes. Immediately invert cake onto a wire rack. Let cool 15 minutes. Serve warm with Buttermilk Cream.

This gorgeous French dessert recipe, traditionally made with cherries, gets a seasonal twist with sweet apricots and raspberries. The fruit is cooked in a light batter which becomes puffed and golden in the oven – serve warm with ice cream for a delicious summer treat.

Ingredients:

  • 50g butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 375g apricots (about 11 fruits), halved and stoned
  • 100g caster sugar, plus 1 tsp
  • 3 large eggs
