Day 83: Gâteau Au Maïs

I'm not sure how to pronounce the name of this bread, but there sure are a lot of French dessert breads that use cornmeal. This bread is basically a cake, and it was amazing. It uses whipped egg whites that elevate this cake to the next level. It's a very small cake, but it packs a lot of punch. The egg whites give it an airy-ness while the sugar and cornmeal give it a good caramelized crunch. It was hard not to eat the whole thing right as it came out of the oven. This was actually the last recipe in the corn bread section, and I can see why. From your basic corn breads to actual breads with corn, they were all leading up to have you finish it off with this amazing corn cake. We're not done with corn breads however, and we've still got some delicious ones in the pipeline.
