    In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

    In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
