Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup whole blanched almonds
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 sticks (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
Accompaniment:peach and berry compote

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F and butter an 8 1/2- by 4 1/2- by 3-inch loaf pan. Put a 24- by 3 1/2-inch strip of wax paper lengthwise down center of pan (to facilitate unmolding), leaving an overhang on each end.
  • Whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Finely grind almonds with 1/4 cup sugar in a food processor and stir into cornmeal mixture.
  • Beat butter and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until combined well. Beat in eggs 1 at a time until just blended, then beat in vanilla. (Mixture will look curdled.) Add cornmeal mixture and stir and fold until just combined.
  • Transfer batter to loaf pan, smoothing top, and bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool cake in pan on a rack 5 minutes. Loosen edges with a knife, then use strips to carefully lift cake from pan onto rack.

This cake was a little too dry for my taste. I think I might try adding some extra butter or oil next time. The compote was delicious, though.

I'm not a big fan of cornmeal cake, but this recipe changed my mind! The almond flavor really shines through, and the compote is a great way to add some sweetness and moisture. I'll definitely be making this again.

This is one of my favorite recipes! The cake is always moist and delicious, and the compote is the perfect topping. I love that this recipe is also relatively healthy, as it uses whole wheat flour and almond meal.
