CORNBREAD PUDDING CAKE (TOMALITO)



Cornbread Pudding Cake (Tomalito) image

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.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (6 1/2 ounce) packet betty crocker cornbread mix
1 (15 ounce) can corn kernels
1/2 cup plus 3 tbs. milk
6 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons sugar

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.
