Honey Olive Oil Cornbread

I went to a new coffee shop that is close to my office this week, and they had a Honey Cornmeal Olive Oil Cake. I didn’t get it there and then, but went back in the afternoon and they were sold out already. Devastated. That cake was living in my head rent free all day.

so I decided to go to the store, buy the ingredients and make my own version.

Now, I never tried this cake so I have no idea how it takes like, but I am loving my version. I am using yogurt on this recipe, as mere coincidence I found this french yogurt, Le Fermiere, in an Orange Blossom Honey flavor, and grabbed one for the cake. Best surprise ever.

you will need:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal

  • 2/3 cup borwn sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/3 cup olive oil

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 cup honey yogurt

  • Mixed nuts

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees

  2. Mix all the wet ingredients, then incorporate the dry ones until everything is fully combined

  3. In a baking dish with parchment paper, add the mixture and top it with sprinkles of brown sugar and chopped mixed nuts

  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden and the center is fully cooked

Enjoy!
