Cornmeal Pound Cake

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In the bowl of your mixer, add butter and sugar and cream on high speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Turn mixer down to medium speed and add in eggs and egg yolk one at a time, beating after each incorporation.

Turn mixer down to low speed and add in cornmeal, flour and baking soda until well blended into batter. Add milk and vanilla extract and continue to mix until batter is smooth and well incorporated.

Spray a loaf-sized baking pan with nonstick baking spray. Add batter to loaf pan and bake in oven for 30-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.

Take loaf pan from oven and cool for 10 minutes. Remove cake from loaf pan and continue to cool on wire rack. Serve.
