Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Milk
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1/2 cup Apple Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 175°C. Take a baking pan and coat the inside with a thin layer of vegetable oil, then sprinkle in a little all-purpose flour and shake it around to coat the inside evenly. Tap out any excess flour.
- 2In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of cornmeal, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- 3In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, and 1/2 cup of apple sauce until they are smooth.
- 4Pour the wet ingredients from the medium bowl into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon or whisk until everything is just combined and there are no large dry patches of flour or cornmeal. Do not overmix.
- 5Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven.
- 6Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The cake is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or when the top is golden brown and springs back slightly when gently touched.
- 7Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before attempting to remove it. This helps prevent it from breaking.
- 8Once cooled, carefully turn the cake out onto the wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
