Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with 1 teaspoon of butter. Line the bottom with a parchment paper circle for easy release. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and sugar until light and slightly thickened, about 1 minute. (2 minutes)

03

Step
1 mins

Whisk in the melted butter, yogurt, and milk until well combined, creating a smooth batter. (1 minute)

04

Step
2 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. (2 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Gently fold in 2 cups of the crushed cornflakes with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter. (2 minutes)

07

Step
1 mins

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. (1 minute)

08

Step
1 mins

Scatter the remaining 1/2 cup of crushed cornflakes evenly over the top of the cake, pressing them lightly into the batter. (1 minute)

09

Step
25 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-28 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted near the center comes out clean. (25 minutes)

10

Step
20 mins

Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. Cool completely before slicing and serving. (20 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the wet ingredients. This will impart a nutty, caramel-like note to the cake.
If you don't have yogurt on hand, you can substitute sour cream or buttermilk.
Feel free to experiment with different toppings, such as a drizzle of honey, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream.
This cake is best enjoyed within 2-3 days of baking. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature.

    This is my new go-to cornbread recipe. It's so moist and delicious, and the cornflakes give it a unique twist.

    Easy to make and a real crowd-pleaser. I added a little bit of honey to the batter for extra sweetness.

    I was skeptical about the cornflakes, but they add such a great texture! My family loved it!
