ShopFor the cake:
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/4 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup grape seed oil
2 Tablespoons Cointreau liqueur (or water)

7 oz. plain Greek yogurt
2/3 cup fresh or frozen Aronia berries (thawed)
For the glaze:
3 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 Tablespoons light brown sugar
1 Tablespoon Cointreau liqueur (or water)
Sift together 1 cup plus 3 Tablespoons flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Beat brown sugar, oil, Cointreau (or water) and vanilla in a separate bowl with electric mixer until smooth. Beat in eggs. Alternately add flour mixture and yogurt to egg mixture until combined.
Toss aronia berries with remaining 1 Tablespoon flour and fold into batter. Grease and flour a 9 x 5 loaf pan. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in a 350 degree oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before flipping out of pan.
