What the____???

Would someone please tell me how my blog visits spiked to over 500 the other day?  I cannot find where there may have been a link or a mention that would send those numbers over to li'l ole me...  And I'm sorry if I didn't give you all individual attention-  if I knew you wuz comin' I'd a baked a cornmeal cake instead of just corn muffins (with sharp cheddar).  Which I finished off a few hours ago.

Cornmeal Cake

Preheat oven to 400, butter a 9" cake pan.

     fine grind in your food processor:

1 c. skinned blanched almonds OR hazelnuts

1/3 c. cornmeal

1/4 tsp salt

     mix together:

1 c. flour, leveled

1/2 tsp baking powder

     cream together:

1/2 c. sugar (lt. brown is good too)     

1/2 stick butter

     add and mix well:

3 egg yolks

1 tsp. vanilla OR almond OR lemon zest

Pour batter into buttered pan, bake about 30 minutes until  a test toothpick comes out clean.  Meanwhile, clean and macerate a pint of berries, mixed or plain, whatever is in season with a bit of sugar and a splash of liquour or maybe some balsamic vinegar reduction if you have strawberries.  Serve the cake warm and add a plop of creme fraiche.  The Best summer cake.
