Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a tooth pick or skewer comes out clean. After that brush the top of the cake with milk and put it back in the oven for just 2 minutes. This gives shiny look on top of the cake. Sweet cornmeal bread is ready. Notes:
Once batter is ready, do not keep the batter outside for long time. Immediately place it in the oven for baking.
Please do not be tempted to open the oven door for at least the first 30 minutes.
Brushing cake with milk is to make the cake look shiny on top, which is completely optional. If you do not prefer then skip that process.
