One basic maize flour cake always goes well, either in the breakfast or in the afternoon, this cake is never too much. I was searching a simple recipe, without too much work and above all tasty, I found several that seemed appetizing, but finished using this one, but I modified the sugar and the oil, because I don’t like cakes that taste too much oil. Recipe tested and approved, delicious!
Maize Flour Cake
Ingredients:
4 eggs
2 cups sugar

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and maize flour.
In a separeted large bowl, whisk the eggs. Then gradually add the sugar while whisking and whisk for a couple of minutes. Slowly add the oil, and wisk until well blended. Sift the dry ingredients one more time, add to the eggs misture and whisk gently to combine. Fold in the milk and whisk until it is incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat for 160ºC/320ºF and bake for more 20 to 30 minutes until a cake tester or wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
*In my opinion eat while it is still hot…hehe 🙂
Oooh maize flour! How interesting! The cake looks awesome.
Could you use egg replacer in this receipe?
@Andrea Kechiche, Hi Andrea, I never made this cake with egg replacer, but I think you can use it and you won’t have problems. Tell me later the results, ok?
xxoo
@Pam, I’ll try later today, I’l be using buckwheat flour and almond milk too!!! My daughter has allergies to everything. This is the first cake I’ve found using maize flour!!! I’ll let you know!!
with both milk and egg allergy, will try with rice milk and egg repalcement. keep you posted on how it turns out.
just tried it now! it is tasting delicious and the outside is just the way I like it! (crispy) thanks for the recipe 🙂
what size cake tin ???????
Hi Diane, I use a 9 inch Bundt cake pan.
Can I use unsalted butter in place of oil? Should the quantity remain same for it?
Hi Abhi, yes you can, but the cake will have a different texture. You can replace 1/2 cup of oil for 1/2 + 1/8 cup of melted butter.
