CORNMEAL POUND CAKE
The cornmeal adds a rustic texture and flavor to this pound cake. I like to serve this with lightly sweetened strawberries and whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. For good results, be sure to use cake flour and sift before measuring. Adapted from Sunset Italian Cookbook, 1981 Edition.
