Cheese-flavored cornmeal cake
The classic cornmeal cake texture, with a savory touch of nutritional yeast.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups fine cornmeal (240 g / 8½ oz)
- 1 cup almond flour (96 g / 3½ oz)
- ⅓ cup sugar (65 g / 2¼ oz) — no added sugar: ½ cup erythritol (95 g)
- 4 tbsp nutritional yeast, cheesy flavor (32 g / 1¼ oz)
- 1 tbsp baking powder (12 g)
- 1 tsp salt (6 g)
- 1 tsp aniseed, or fennel seeds (1 g) — optional
- 3 eggs (150 g / 5½ oz)
- ½ cup olive oil (108 g / 3¾ oz)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240 g / 8½ oz)
In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and grease a tube pan well.
- In a large bowl, mix the cornmeal, almond flour, sugar, nutritional yeast, baking powder, salt and aniseed.
