Lemon Olive Oil Cornmeal Cake
This recipe was a finalist in our We ♥ Local Cornmeal recipe contest and was submitted by Brittany Kirvan. Brittany says, "This is a gluten, dairy and refined sugar-free cake, but it is not too sweet and suitable to snack on at anytime of the day." Use local cornmeal, honey, and eggs to keep it as local as possible.
