Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups Corn Flour (For a fine, smooth texture)
1/2 cup Cornmeal (For a slight crunch and flavor)
1 cup Sugar (For sweetness)
1 tsp Baking Powder (Gluten-free, for rise)
1/2 tsp Salt (To balance the flavors)
1 cup Buttermilk (For moisture and tenderness)
3 Large Eggs (Room temperature, for structure)
2 tsp Vanilla Extract (For aroma)
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Melted, for richness)
Zest of 1 Orange (For a citrus note)
Instructions
Prepare the Cake Batter
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your bundt cake pan to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the corn flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Fold in the orange zest.
Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Serving Suggestions
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze for added sweetness and presentation.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a side of fresh berries for a refreshing contrast.
