🛒 Ingredients

20 servings

20
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 cups (1 litre) whole milk
  • 3 cups (600 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups (240 g) fine cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3.5 oz (100 g) grated Parmesan or mild Gruyère
  • 1 tablespoon (11 g) baking powder

Directions

  1. 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. 2

    Add all ingredients — eggs, milk, sugar, flour, cornmeal, butter, grated cheese, and baking powder — to a blender.

  3. 3

    Blend on high speed for 2–3 minutes until the batter is completely smooth and slightly foamy.

  4. 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. 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.
