I liked my porridge recipe so much, I decided to turn it into a filling breakfast bread! This is a play on cornbread. but is really very moist. It makes a great snack cake to have with a mid-morning beverage. Also great with a mixture of stewed fruit and fresh fruit on the side.
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup white cornmeal
¼ cup Semolina
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup Kefir or 1% milk
¼ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons butter, melted, plus oil to make up to 1/3 cup
1/4 teaspoon each of nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, coriander
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar
