Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease a 9 × 13-inch (35 × 25 cm) baking pan and dust lightly with flour.
- 2
Add all ingredients — eggs, milk, sugar, flour, cornmeal, butter, grated cheese, and baking powder — to a blender.
- 3
Blend on high speed for 2–3 minutes until the batter is completely smooth and slightly foamy.
- 4
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes, until the top is deep golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 5
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing — it sets and becomes even creamier as it cools. Serve at room temperature or lightly chilled.
💡 Chef's Tip
Add the baking powder last and blend briefly to preserve the airy texture. Freshly grated Parmesan intensifies the flavor. Leftovers keep well covered in the fridge for up to 3 days and taste even better the next day.
