Sweet corn cake
Serve this sweet corn cake as a Mexican side dish.
Ingredients
1⁄2 c butter (softened)
1⁄3 c masa harina
1⁄4 c water
1 1⁄2 c corn (whole kernel corn, thawed if frozen)
1⁄3 c cornmeal
1⁄2 c sugar (white sugar)
2 T cream (heavy cream)
1⁄4 t salt
1⁄2 t baking powder
Instructions
- Using a medium bowl & a mixer, cream the butter. Once creamed, add the masa harina and water. Mix well.
- Using a knife, potato masher or food processor, chop/process the corn until no longer whole but still chunky. Add this to the butter mix.
- In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients then add it to the the butter mix. Fold together until well blended.
- Pour batter into an ungreased 8x8 inch baking pan. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Place the 8x8 pan into a 9x13 baking dish. Add enough water to the 9x13 dish to fill it 1/3 full. This will help keep your cake moist during baking.
- Bake at 350°F for 50 to 60 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool for approximately 10 minutes before serving.
