Servings

Ingredients

1 teaspoon butter for greasing the pan
1 large egg
½ cup white sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
½ cup plain yogurt
½ cup milk
½ cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
2½ cups cornflakes divided

Instructions

Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with 1 teaspoon of butter and line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper.
Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg and sugar together for approximately one minute, or until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Gradually whisk in the melted butter, yogurt, and milk until fully combined.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda to the wet mixture. Whisk gently until all the dry ingredients are moistened, ensuring not to overmix.
Fold in Cornflakes: Using a spatula, fold in 2 cups of cornflakes. Be careful to avoid crushing them excessively to maintain their texture.
Transfer to the Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Evenly scatter the remaining ½ cup of cornflakes over the surface, pressing them lightly into the batter with your fingers.
Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes. Carefully transfer it to a serving plate and allow it to cool completely before slicing. Serve with fresh fruit or a fruit sauce for an added touch of flavor.

Notes

To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Additionally, verify that the cornflakes are certified gluten-free, as some brands may contain traces of gluten.
