How to Make Sweet Low Fat Cornmeal Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain yogurt, ¼ cup vegetable oil, ½ cup fruit jam (any flavor you like), 1 large egg, and ½ cup milk.
  4. Gently whisk the yogurt mixture until the jam is fully incorporated and broken up.
  5. Continue whisking until the batter becomes light and frothy.
  6. Carefully fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Generously grease a 9-inch round cake pan (or use a 9-inch tart pan for a prettier presentation).
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  9. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. The cake will puff up slightly in the middle during baking.
  10. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy!
