How to Make Bahama Vacation Johnny Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly butter an 8-inch square or round baking pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder for 30 seconds to aerate.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, and ¼ cup vegetable oil until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and immediately brush the warm top with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  8. Let cool slightly before slicing into wedges or squares. Serve warm with butter and your favorite jam. Enjoy your taste of the Bahamas!
