The author specified coarse ground so the texture is most noticeable, but I used medium ground, because that’s all I had.

The cake turned out good and it tasted good but the cornmeal stayed grainy. I used a coarse grind and I found the texture unpleasant, is it suppose to stay grainy?! Just wondering.

Now that The Swimmer has exited the building, taking his appetite to college with him, not to mention all those swimmer buddies of his that dropped by for sampling/eating/cleaning up all food hanging around, I figure I don’t need this sort of temptation anywhere near me…my pool is open and swimsuit season has arrived. Excuses, excuses, I know. I figured I would just come out and drool over the ones you made. Drool-worthy indeed. And, btw, now I not only have to compete with your photos each post…I have to compete with side by sides???!! That bar just keeps getting raised higher and higher.

It will take quite a bit longer to bake, so you may want to turn the temp to 325 to keep it from getting too dark.

Here’s a different burnt sugar cake recipe that might interest you, since it’s specifically made to be a bundt…
