directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and position rack in the center of the oven; grease and flour and 8-inch square baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • Using your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluff, about 2 minutes; gradually beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
  • Addthe cream, milk, and sour cream, mixing until combined (do not worry if the batter looks curdled).
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; pour into the prepared baking dish, smoothing down the top, and firmly dropping the pan on your countertop to remove air bubbles.
  • Bake until a wooden toothpick comes out clean, about 40 minutes; let cool in the pan on a wire rack until warm, not hot.
  • Make up to one day in advance, wrap tightly and store at room temperature.
