Description
A delicious blend of rich chocolate and the hearty texture of cornbread. This cornbread chocolate cake is the perfect treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/2 cup sour cream or yogurt (optional, for moisture)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a cake pan to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring gently to combine.
- Fold in the chocolate chips (if using).
- Pour the batter into the greased pan, then use a spatula to evenly distribute it.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking with a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean when done.
- Let the cake cool before serving.
Notes
- You can swap the chocolate chips for nuts or fruit to create different variations of the cake.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder for a unique twist.
- This cake pairs well with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.
