Lighter than a pound cake, this gluten-free, dairy-free cornmeal cake goes well with just about anything. Serve it for breakfast with hot tea or coffee. For dessert, serve with fresh berries, a warm berry compote or grilled pineapple. If you'd like, transform this cake into a lemon cornmeal cake by adding the zest of one lemon (about 2 teaspoons) to the batter.

Note: To achieve a delicate texture for this cake, be sure to select a very finely ground gluten-free cornmeal for this cake. I prefer Bob's Red Mill gluten-free corn flour. Corn flour is finely ground cornmeal, not corn starch.
