Cornmeal Poundcake With Fresh Berries Recipes

GRILLED POUND CAKE WITH BERRIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Clean the grill grates if necessary. Preheat the grill on high heat for 10 minutes.
• Slice the pound cake into 7 1-inch (2 ½ cm) slices. LIghtly brush both sides of each slice with melted butter. Set aside.
• Hold a paper towel between tongs and dip it in the canola oil. Carefully oil the grill grates.
• Thread about 4 strawberries onto each bamboo skewer. Place the skewers on the oiled grates, cover, and grill for 2 minutes on each side without disturbing, until the strawberries have grill marks. Transfer the skewered strawberries to a cutting board and let cool slightly.
• Reduce the grill to medium-high heat.
• Cut the strawberries in half lengthwise. Transfer to a large bowl with the blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice and toss well. Let the berries macerate while you grill the pound cake.
• Arrange the slices of cake on the grates, cover, and grill for 2 minutes, then flip and grill on the other side for 2 minutes more, until the cake is well toasted with grill marks.
• Transfer the grilled cake to serving plates and top with a dollop of whipped cream and the macerated berries.
• Enjoy!

BERRY-CORNMEAL POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter and flour a 4 1/2-by-8 1/2-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar on medium-high until very light and fluffy, 7 minutes. Scrape down bowl and beat 1 minute more. Add vanilla, then gradually add eggs, beating well and scraping down bowl as needed. With mixer on low, add salt, then gradually add flour and cornmeal, beating well to combine and scraping down bowl as needed. Gently toss berries with remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Fold into batter.
• Transfer batter to pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 65 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack, 1 hour. Remove cake from pan and let cool completely on rack before slicing.
• To store, wrap in plastic and keep at room temperature, up to 3 days, or wrap in plastic and freeze for up to 3 weeks. (Thaw, wrapped, at room temperature.)

BERRY CORNMEAL CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 9x9 inch baking dish.
• Stir the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Combine the eggs, condensed milk, milk, oil, and vanilla in a second mixing bowl. Add egg mixture to the cornmeal mixture all at once and beat until well blended, about 2 minutes. Spread berries over the bottom of prepared dish. Spoon batter evenly over the berries to completely cover.
• Bake in preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 45 minutes.

BLUEBERRY CORNMEAL GALETTE

Steps:

• Combine flour, cornmeal, and salt in a bowl with a pastry blender. Add cold butter and combine with the pastry blender until coarse crumbs form. Drizzle in cold water, a little at a time, stirring to combine with a fork, until dough comes together.
• Turn dough onto a work surface and bring together with your hands; press into a disk of dough.
• Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat.
• Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch in a bowl.
• Remove dough from the refrigerator and roll on a lightly floured work surface into a 15-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
• Place blueberry filling into the center of the dough, leaving 3 to 4 inches of space around the border of dough. Fold dough up and around the berries, rotating a few inches and make another fold, overlapping the first; repeat around the dough until pleats are formed.
• Combine beaten egg and water in a small bowl and brush on the dough. Sprinkle on demerara sugar.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until golden, about 45 minutes.

CORNMEAL CAKE WITH CREAM AND BERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with butter. Sprinkle with flour; shake to coat. Tap out excess; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, 3/4 cup sugar, and honey until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time. Beat until incorporated; do not overbeat. Add sour cream; mix to combine. Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to batter; mix to combine. Scrape sides of bowl with a spatula; mix again.
• Spread batter in prepared pan. Brush with water; sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake until cake springs back when gently pressed in the center, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Whip cream. Cut cake into squares; split. Fill with cream and berries.

THE MOST ADAPTABLE ONE-BOWL CORNMEAL POUNDCAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees, and grease and flour a 9-inch loaf pan. (Or grease and line it with parchment.)
• In a big bowl, add the sugar, and grate the zest from the orange, lemon or lime into the bowl. If you need a little aromatherapy, work the zest into the sugar with your fingers. (This technique is supposed to infuse the citrus into the sugar.)
• Add the fat, eggs, and yogurt to the bowl, along with the extract and nutmeg, if you like.
• Whisk in the salt, baking soda, baking powder and cornmeal. Once smooth, whisk in flour.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Let it (mostly) cool in the pan. Then slice off a thick piece, butter it and let yourself be soothed.
