Your afternoon coffee is just a few steps away from becoming even tastier. Quick and delicious, this savory corn cake recipe requires only a few ingredients, including cornmeal and curd cheese, which give a very special touch to the preparation.

Ingredients

4 eggs (200 g)
1 teaspoon of salt (5 g)
2 cups of milk (400 ml)
half a cup of unsalted margarine (100 g)
1 cup of wheat flour (110 g)
1 and a half cups of cornmeal (195 g)
1 tablespoon of baking powder (12 g)
200 g of curd cheese, diced

Modo de preparo

In the stand mixer bowl, place the egg whites and a pinch of salt, and beat until foamy. Add the yolks, milk, margarine, and the remaining salt, and keep beating until homogeneous. Transfer to a bowl and gently mix in the wheat flour, cornmeal, and baking powder.
Place in a rectangular baking pan (30 x 20 cm), greased and floured, spread the curd cheese, and bake in a medium oven (180 degrees), preheated, for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the surface comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Tips:

If you don’t have a stand mixer, use the blender to mix the ingredients, except the wheat flour, cornmeal, and baking powder, which should be mixed gently apart.
If you prefer, add pieces of smoked and fried calabresa sausage to the cake batter.
