Directions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease and flour a 10-inch (25 cm) round cake pan.
2
Add all ingredients — eggs, sugar, cornmeal, flour, oil, milk, and baking powder — to a blender.
3
Blend on high speed for about 2 minutes until the batter is completely smooth and slightly frothy.
4
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5
Allow to cool for 10 minutes before unmolding. Serve warm or at room temperature.

💡 Chef's Tip

For extra flavor, stir in a teaspoon of lemon zest or a pinch of cinnamon before baking. Keeps well for up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
