Number Of Ingredients 14

For cake
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
2/3 cup milk
Sweet Rosemary Syrup
Accompaniments
lightly sweetened whipped cream
2 half-pints blackberries

Steps:

  • Make cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. and butter and flour an 8- by 2-inch round cake pan.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add remaining cake ingredients and beat on low speed until combined. Beat batter on high speed until pale yellow, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in middle of oven 40 minutes, or until a tester comes out with a few crumbs adhering.
  • Make Rosemary Syrup while cake is baking.
  • Cool cake in pan on a rack 10 minutes. Invert cake onto hand and return, right side up, to rack. While cake is still warm, gradually brush 1/3 cup syrup over it, allowing syrup to soak in before adding more. Chill remaining syrup in a small pitcher, covered. Syrup-soaked cake may be made 1 day ahead and kept wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature.
  • Serve cake, cut into wedges, with whipped cream, blackberries, and remaining rosemary syrup.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake turned out dense and gummy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This is the worst cornmeal cake I've ever had. The cake was dry and crumbly, and the syrup was too sweet and artificial-tasting. The blackberries were the only saving grace.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste, but the syrup helped to offset that. The blackberries were a nice addition, and the overall flavor was good. I might try adding some extra moisture to the cake next time.
