How to Make Putana Cake
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of corn flour and 1 cup of white flour.
- In a medium saucepan, heat 4 cups of milk over medium-low heat until almost simmering.
- Add 1 teaspoon of salt just before the milk reaches a simmer.
- Gradually whisk in the flour mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, until a smooth, thick batter forms.
- Cover the saucepan and let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter until melted and fully incorporated.
- Add 1 cup of raisins, 1/2 cup of chopped dried figs, 1/2 cup of pine nuts, 1 cup of diced apple, and 2 tablespoons of grappa. Stir gently to combine.
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
- In a small bowl, whisk 1 large egg. Lightly brush the egg wash over the top of the cake.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving.
