Instructions

Preheat the oven and prepare the baking dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined—do not overmix.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spread evenly, and bake for 30–35 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool and serve: Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a richer texture, substitute buttermilk for regular milk.
You can also fold in a handful of corn kernels or chopped jalapeños for added flavor.
