Notes

  • It keeps the cake from crumbling and makes it much easier to slice.
  • Add 1 additional tbsp melted butter if you’re using almond milk instead of cream for richness.
  • For enhanced “cornbread” fragrance, add a drop of corn extract with a pinch of nutritional yeast.
  • Lightly toasted leftovers will also refresh texture.
