MEXICAN SWEET CORN CAKE image

Love that sweet corn cake that your favorite Mexican restaurant serves? Than why not make it at home...so easy and SO good. I like to serve it with a spicy dinner...although I am told it is served as a dessert as well.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 c butter, softened
1/3 c masa harina(corn flour)
1/4 c water
1 1/2 c whole kernel corn( i use fresh or thawed frozen but i am sure canned will be ok too)
1/4 c corn meal
1/3 c sugar
2 Tbsp heavy cream
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350*
  • 2. In a blender or food processor give corn a whirl to chop it up a bit but still leave it somewhat chunky.
  • 3. Beat butter in medium bowl until creamy. Add masa harina and water and beat until mixed well.
  • 4. Stir the blended corn into the butter mixture.
  • 5. In a seperate bowl combine corn meal,sugar,heavy cream,baking powder and salt.
  • 6. Add that to the butter/corn mixture and stir until combined well.
  • 7. Spread into 8x8 square pan and cover with foil. Put the 8x8 pan into a 9x13 pan and add water to about 1/3 of the way up the 8x8 pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Cool for about 10 minutes and serve by scooping it out either with a spoon or ice cream scoop.

It was good, but I think I would have liked it better if I had used fresh corn instead of frozen.

Not as good as I was hoping. It was a little dry and the flavor was just okay.

I'm not usually a fan of cornbread, but this was really good. The sweetness of the corn balanced out the savory flavors of the cheese and onions.
