From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This recipe comes from the latest issue of Family Circle magazine, which you can find here. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to give it a try. Barbecues at our house are almost always simple, old-fashioned affairs and this dessert sounded like a perfect addition to my al fresco recipe collection. While it is simple enough for children to make, I think you will find the cake to be as interesting as it is delicious. It has a pronounced corn flavor, but the blackberries and the honeyed whip cream take what is a basic corn cake to another level. This is family food at its finest and I know those of you who try the cake will be pleased with its flavor and the unique play of its ingredients on the tongue. This is a barely sweet dessert, so I suggest you use some type of sugar to sprinkle over the cake before it is baked. If you don't have turbinado, use granulated sugar in its place. I served this at the end of a cook-out that featured pulled pork but it would be wonderful with any barbecue sauced meat. It was a perfect way to end the meal. Do try this, if only for novelty's sake. Here is how the cake is made.
