    Cornmeal Berry Sheet Cake

    Published: Apr 29, 2020 · Modified: Jun 3, 2021 by heather · This post may contain affiliate links

    Cornmeal Berry Sheet Cake is a great way to use fresh berries this summer. A subtly sweet cake with a delicious cornmeal texture. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for an amazing summer dessert.

    I love desserts that call for berries like this blueberry lemon pie and this cranberry cherry dump cake. Berries add so much color and flavor to these recipes.

    Why this recipe works

    • The combination of sweet and a little savory really works. 
    • The addition of cornmeal gives this sheet cake a unique texture. 
    • The added sprinkle of sugar on top makes a delicious crust on the top of the cake.

    What you need

    Cornmeal – I use yellow, fine ground cornmeal.

    Sugar – I use Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar.

    Berries – For this recipe I used raspberries and blueberries. 

    Eggs, Milk, Sour Cream, Vanilla Extract, All-Purpose Flour, Baking Powder and Salt. 

    How to make

    1. Cream: Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add in eggs.
    2. Mix: Mix in vanilla, sour cream and milk.
    3. Whisk: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt.
    4. Combine: Combine flour mixture and butter mixture. 
    5. Spread: Spread the batter in a lined 9 x 13 baking sheet. Add berries on top and then sprinkle sugar. 
    6. Bake: Bake until golden brown.
