In an attempt to lose weight, I have cut out wheat and some other products out of my diet (it's working by the way! lol)... Today I wanted to make a cake. I searched everywhere for a cake recipe made with corn flour instead of other flours and I couldn't find one anywhere. So I made my own, and was quite pleased with the result!! edit: I'm not sure why the "nutritional value" is so high on the side.. please note that if you do click on the detailed view, you'll find that each serving is 377 calories... NOT over 2000, thank you. :).

FRESH CORN CAKES

Corn's always been the basis of my favorite recipes-in fact, these corn cakes were one of the first things I made for my husband. For dinner, they're nice with fresh fruit salad and ham. They're also great with breakfast sausage and orange juice. Tom works for the highway department on Mount Hood, and we live at its base. Our children are 19, 16 and 13.

Tips:

  • Cornflour to All-Purpose Flour Ratio: Cornflour, also known as cornstarch, should be used in a 1:3 ratio with all-purpose flour. This means for every 1 cup of cornflour, you'll need 3 cups of all-purpose flour.
  • Measuring Cornflour: When measuring cornflour, it's crucial to use the correct technique. Do not scoop the cornflour directly from the container, as this can result in a packed measurement and an overly dense cake. Instead, spoon the cornflour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
  • Mixing the Batter: When mixing the cake batter, be sure to avoid overmixing. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the all-purpose flour, resulting in a tough and dense cake. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Baking Temperature: Cornflour cakes are typically baked at a lower temperature than traditional cakes. This helps to prevent the cake from drying out and becoming crumbly. The recommended baking temperature for cornflour cakes is usually between 325°F (163°C) and 350°F (177°C).
  • Cooling the Cake: After baking, allow the cornflour cake to cool completely in the pan before frosting or serving. This helps to prevent the cake from falling apart.
