  • Easy to Make: Simple ingredients and straightforward steps make this a breeze.
  • Perfect for Gatherings: A crowd-pleaser that pairs well with various sides.
  • Versatile Flavor: The sweet caramel complements the cornbread beautifully.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

How to Make Caramel Cornbread Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  8. Once cooled, drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the top of the cake.
  9. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately for the best texture.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the caramel sauce to prevent it from soaking in.
  • For an extra touch, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the caramel for a sweet and salty contrast.

Easy Variations

  • Add in 1 cup of corn kernels for added texture and flavor.
  • Mix in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, for a crunchy element.
  • Experiment with flavored extracts, such as almond or maple, for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for extra creaminess.
  • Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
  • Enjoy alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover caramel cornbread cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, slice and warm in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or until warmed through.
