Steps:
- In a small mixing bowl, mix the margarine, masa and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. In a blender container, blend half the corn kernels with the water until smooth. Combine this mixture with the margarine mixture, stirring well. Add the remaining corn kernels, corn meal, baking powder, salt and milk and mix well. Pour the corn mixture into an 8-inch square baking pan. Tightly cover with plastic wrap and steam by setting atop a medium saucepan of water on top of the stove. Bring water to a boil and steam corn mixture for 50 minutes to one hour (check to see whether you might need to add more water), until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tomalito should have a smooth, moist texture. Note: The pan must be tightly wrapped at all times.

I started seeing this delightful little scoop of heaven on the edge of my plate at a few of the Mexican restaurants around town, so I decided make it at home. This recipe is actually the recipe they use at Chevy's, which I found published in the local paper.

CORNBREAD PUDDING CAKE (TOMALITO)
Yummy! This is very close to what you get at Chevy's or Chi-Chi's. This is like a very moist cornbread flecked with corn kernels. Comes together in a snap and makes a great side. Guaranteed kid pleaser! This dish should be served hot or warm, and reheats nicely in the microwave.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Drain the corn of almost all it's liquid (I leave about 2 tbsp). In a bowl, mix all the ingredients.
- Pour batter into a greased 8x8 pan. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes.
- Serve hot or warm. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh corn: Fresh corn will give your cornbread pudding cake the best flavor. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen corn, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread pudding cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cornbread pudding cake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cake from becoming dry. Place the cake pan in a larger pan filled with hot water and bake as directed.
- Serve the cornbread pudding cake warm: This cake is best served warm, but it can also be served cold. If you are serving it cold, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Cornbread pudding cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover cornbread, and it is also a fun and festive dish to serve at parties. With its moist and flavorful texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
