Cornmeal Cake with Caramel Whipped Cream

Servings 8 slices

Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup flour, heaping
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2 tbs. milk
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 tbs. coarse sugar

For the cream:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbs. instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1/3 cup caramel sauce

Instructions

For the cake:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and grease and flour an 8 inch round cake pan.

  2. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, vanilla extract, and honey. 

  3. Add in the flour, salt, baking powder, and cornmeal. Beat together until it starts to come together- the mixture will be very thick. Beat in the milk, and mix until completely combined. 

  4. Spread the batter evenly in your prepared cake pan. Evenly sprinkle the sliced almonds and coarse sugar over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden, and a cake tester comes out clean. Cool completely before serving. 

For the cream:

  1. Beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add in the vanilla pudding mix and the caramel sauce, and beat together until stiff peaks form. Serve large helpings on top of each slice of cake!
