Servings: persons

2 cups Cake Flour
3/4 cups Fine Cornmeal, Plus Extra For Pans
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
3/4 teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Clove
2 sticks Unsalted Butter, Softened
1 cup Sugar
2 whole Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste Or Extract
1 cup Full Fat Buttermilk

1
Lower the oven rack to the bottom half of the oven and preheat to 350u00b0F. Butter and dust two 9x5 loaf pans with cornmeal.
2
Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder, salt and clove. Mix well.
3
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar for 3-5 minutes, until VERY light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, followed by the vanilla and buttermilk.
4
Slowly add the dry mix to the wet mixture. Scrape the bowl and beat again until JUST smooth.
5
Divide the batter evenly between the loaf pans.
6
Bake, undisturbed for 40-50 minutes. Insert a toothpick to ensure the cakes are cooked through-if the toothpick comes out clean, remove them from the oven.
7
Cool for 10 minutes before carefully flipping out of the pans.
8
Serve warm. The cake should be light and slightly crumbly.
