Gluten Free Blackberry Cornbread Cake | http://naturallyella.com

There are certain things I have a big weakness for. Chocolate cake and ice cream for starters and mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and hummus for a few others. And on occasion, cornbread lathered in butter and drizzled with a bit of honey. I'm not sure where this love of cornbread came from but if you offer me bread, biscuit, or cornbread- I will nearly always (if not always) choose cornbread.

This particular recipe is a riff on this corn cake with blueberries. I updated it to use gluten-free flour, but you could easily pop back over the other recipe and use regular flour. I also changed how I baked it. Instead of an 8 x 8 pan, I used and 8" load pan, creating something that was easily sliceable and something that could be packaged for on the go. I also love how the blackberries turned out (and sliced!)

  1. I really like the sound of your GF all purpose mix. Those flours are some of my go-tos for GF baking. And this slice-and-go cake is my favourite kind of treat. Easygoing and just enough sweetness. Those jammy blackberry bits! <3

  2. This corn cake sounds wonderful. And I really appreciate that you included a recipe for gluten-free flour. I personally don't need it, but it's nice to know how to have gluten free flour without it being full of yucky-sounding ingredients.

  3. Such a beautiful looking cornbread, and very interesting mix of the flours... I will definitely try to make it, just has to wait for my blackberries to become ripe - they are still stubborn green 😉

  4. If there's is cornbread involved, I'm pretty much sold! I love how rustic it looks, a real comfort food. 🙂

      1. It came out great! So moist! I replaced the butter as well with Earth Balance.
        Thanks for this!
