Cake Bread?!

Corn Bread aka Cake Bread according to the children I au paired.

This is one of my most popular recipes that I found on the net several years ago when I was hankering for my mom's corn bread. Besides being tasty I love this recipe because it has people ohing and ahing over the fact I made home made bread. Little do they know it is the easiest recipe ever taking a total of 35 minutes from beginning to end. It works perfectly with spicy and rich foods. BBQ, Buffalo Wings, Brunch, Lentil Soup... Okay works with everything.


3/4 cup corn meal/polenta (not corn flour)
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar or honey
2 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup cooking oil
1 egg

Mix the milk and the corn meal together in a separate bowl and set aside. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix the oil and the egg seperately then stir it into to the corn meal and milk. Then add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir it together. It's okay if it's a little lumpy. Grease a smallish glass/ceramic square oven form and bake for approx. 30minutes or until it starts to turn a slightly golden brown on the top. Oven 375F/200C

This also works really well as muffins. You can even add sausage, chillies and cheese to the mix to spice it up a bit.

Serve with butter, alternatively honey butter. Just add a dash of honey to butter and mix.
