Photo: Brown Sugar Cornmeal Cake with Sweet Yogurt Topping Recipe
Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups vanilla yogurt
- 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup canola oil
- 3 large eggs
- Juice and zest from 1 orange (about 1/2 cup juice, add water if juice from orange is short)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a standard size Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup yogurt, brown sugar, oil, eggs and orange juice until completely combined. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry just until incorporated. Pour into prepared the pan and bake until it is puffed and golden and a tester placed in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, and when cool enough to handle, invert onto a wire cooling rack. Cool completely before slicing.
For the topping, stir together the remaining 1 cup yogurt, orange zest and powdered sugar. Slice the cake and serve with the yogurt topping drizzled over top.

Wow! Awesome flavor and so simple and easy to prepare! Hubby and teen sons LOVED it! They are not sweet eaters but ate this one up! I didn't read the directions fully and put all the yogurt in the mix and it didn't need a topping anyway...yum! I didn't have plain yogurt so I used what I had and that was key lime. Didn't make a difference at all but the cake was so moist. Will make it again ...real soon!

AMAZING!! I made this today,I made cupcakes because I do not own a blunt cake mold. I was a little worried about the taste because of the reviews but it was too late they were already in the oven. They are DELICIOUS!! Love the texture, the taste, they are not sweet but I was not expecting something sweet. I was thinking more like a corn muffins ....They delivered...

My nephew and I both liked this recipe. Whilst we agree the texture is not what one would expect in a cake,it is not unpleasant. We agreed it wasnt "cake" sweet, which is fine with us. More like a sweet cornbread with carmel undertones from the brownsugar. We particularly liked the yogurt topping...will make again..
