Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the cake: Butter and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, cake flour, minced rosemary, baking powder, and salt.
- Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, on low speed beat the butter and vanilla together until combined. Slowly add the powdered sugar. Once the sugar is incorporated increase the speed to high and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg yolks and eggs, 1 at a time. Reduce the speed to medium and add the sour cream. On low speed add the dry ingredients just until incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake in the lower third of the oven until the cake is golden and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 35 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool. Transfer the cake from the pan to a serving plate and dust with powdered sugar.
- For the Balsamic Syrup: Place the sugar, balsamic vinegar, and rosemary in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer until the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Discard the rosemary sprig and let the syrup cool.
- To serve, place a slice of cake on a serving plate; spoon some syrup around the plate.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter; pour over flour mixture, whisking to combine.
- In a 10-inch skillet (preferably cast-iron), heat remaining tablespoon butter in the oven until melted and skillet is hot, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven; swirl to coat bottom of pan. Pour batter into skillet; scatter blackberries on top, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
- Bake, with a baking sheet on rack below (to catch any drips), until top is evenly browned, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edge to loosen; cut into 8 wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh rosemary. Fresh rosemary has a more intense flavor than dried rosemary, and it will give your cake a more pronounced rosemary flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Make the rosemary syrup while the cake is baking. This will give the syrup time to cool and thicken.
- Serve the cake warm or at room temperature. The cake is best served warm or at room temperature, when the syrup is still warm and runny.
Conclusion:
This cornmeal cake with sweet rosemary syrup and blackberries is a delicious and unique dessert. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a hint of rosemary. The syrup is sweet and tangy, with a beautiful amber color. The blackberries add a pop of color and flavor. This cake is perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight dessert.
