Dessert: Pancake Cake with Maple Cream Frosting

Recipe by Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Sandy Gluck We admit that we have had cake for breakfast before. Who hasn't? But how about breakfast for dessert? This recipe came about when we accidentally made too much pancake batter on Sunday morning

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned into cup and leveled off)
1/3 cup rye or whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rye flour, cornmeal, granulated and brown sugars, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, whole eggs, egg yolks, butter, and vanilla. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and fold in the wet just until moistened.
Coat 8-inch skillet with some melted butter and heat over medium-low heat. Pour 1/2 cup of the batter into the pan and cook for 1 1/2 minutes, or until large bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake. Carefully flip the pancake over and cook for 1 minute longer, or until the underside is just cooked through. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter to make 6 pancakes and let cool to room temperature.
