My grandmother doesn't like anything made with cornmeal. She finds it gritty. I personally love anything that includes it in its recipe. There is something that feels so comforting and home-y in the texture and the taste.
This recipe for cornmeal-berry sheet cake comes from Martha Stewart, someone I highly revere and adore and wish desperately that I could claim as a relative. I'm sure Martha had nothing but patriotic intentions for this cake, as when served with whipped cream it is red, white and blue. I may have made this cake almost two weeks too late for July 4th, but I did make it just in time for an equally rad holiday, Bastille Day (Bonne Bastille mes petites choux)!
Realistically I bet that you could make this recipe using any fruit that you wanted, but I loved how summery it felt to use berries and the juicy sweetness that they gave to the cake.
Unintentional smiley face in the dry ingredients : )
I love using a mixer because:
1. When I mix things by hand I can never get out all the lumps!
2. I feel incredibly grown up and responsible using one.
Red, white(ish) and blue! Vive la France (and all the other countries that have red white and blue flags: America, the UK, Australia, Bermuda, Cambodia, Czech Republic, Iceland, Laos, Russia etc...)!!!
So it was insanely delicious with whipped cream for dessert and would also make a lovely petit dejeuner without it. If you have any ideas for what I should make in the future don't be afraid to comment! Have a great week and stay tuned for my next post!
