Chigumu

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine maize flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract (if using).

Combine and Mix

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, making sure not to overmix.

Bake

Pour the batter into a greased baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve

Allow the Chigumu to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
