Ingredients
- Cornmeal Cake Wet Ingredients
1/2 cup 1/2 flavorless oil
1/2 cup 1/2 butter, melted
3 3 eggs
1 3/4 1 3/4 raw sugar (like turbinado)
- Dry Ingredients
1 tsp 1 baking soda
1 tsp 1 baking powder
1 tsp 1 salt
1 cup 1 Maine Grains Organic Cornmeal
3 cups 3 shredded zucchini – drained thoroughly
- Fruit Filling
1 cup 1 or up to 1½ cups mixed berries
- Crumb Topping
1/4 cup 1/4 Maine Grains Organic Rolled Oats
1/4 cup 1/4 Maine Grains Organic Cornmeal
1/4 cup 1/4 Maine Grains Organic Sifted All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup 1/2 brown sugar
1 tbsp 1 cinnamon
6 tbsp 6 butter – softened
pinch of sea salt
nutmeg and/or orange zest – optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees – a convection oven works great – if you have it.
- Prep one bundt pan or 2 bread loaf pans – great with butter or oil and a light dust of flour to help prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl mix all the wet ingredients and zucchini (but not the fruit) till the eggs and sugar have just blended.
- In a separate bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and add slowly to the wet till moist and smooth
- In a smaller bowl combine all the crumb topping ingredients – mix/clump together until mixed.
- Pour half the batter into the prepped pan(s), sprinkle the fruit evenly on top of the batter, add the remaining batter – spreading if necessary to cover all the fruit.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping onto the cake batter.
- Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes – or until the cake is done in the middle and golden brown – testing clean with a toothpick or knife inserted.
