corn meal crumble cake

Makes: One Bundt Cake

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups cake flour

  • 3/4 cup corn meal flour

  • 8 oz sugar (1 1/8 cup)

  • pinch of salt

  • 1 tbsp baking powder

  • 1 1/2 cup vegan milk

  • 1/3 cup oil

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

  • 4 tbsp butter

  • 3 tbsp milk

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract



Directions:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

  • Prepare a bundt pan, or similar sized cake pan by oiling the bottom and sides of the pan then dust with flour. Make sure to shake out the excess.

  • In a large bowl combine your cake flour, corn meal, baking powder, and salt. With a whisk mix the ingredients until well combined.

  • In another bowl combine your Milk, oil, sugar, and extract, then mix with a whisk until well combined.

  • Now pour the wet ingredients on top of the dry ingredients and mix until everything just comes together, essentially when all the flour is hydrated. Try not to over mix there will be lumps which is okay, you want to avoid building Gluten.

  • Pour your cake batter into your baking dish and bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, depending on your dish 20-25 minutes approximately.

  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely before trying to remove.

  • Making the Glaze:

  • Place all your ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second bursts stirring between each until your butter is melted.

  • Once melted use a whisk to mix the glaze until its cohesive and the sugar is dispersed evenly.

  • Now either pour the glaze on top of your cake or use a brush to paint it onto the top and sides of the cake if you want more even coverage.

  • Let the glaze soak in for at least 5 minutes before serving.
