Corn Meal Cake

This is my 100th post and 75th recipe with new year cake.I am very happy to share this recipe with you.This is the first time I shared my wishes through this to all of you. Corn Meal(maize flour) cake is very tasty and healthy. I got this cake from food magazine. Till now i make cakes with wheat flour, all purpose flour only but today my cake is made by corn meal. It was very tasty. It is a combination of corn meal and white flour. Generally I don't prefer to make cakes due to white flour and butter but in this I used less quantity of butter and white flour. We can use wheat flour instead of white flour. I hope you like it too...... Happy cooking....
