Tips:

Use fresh corn: Fresh corn provides the best flavor and texture to the cake. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
Cream the butter and sugar together thoroughly: This will help to create a light and fluffy cake crumb.
Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
Fold in the cornmeal and flour gently: Overmixing can toughen the cake.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly.
Test the cake for doneness with a toothpick: The toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Sweet cornbread cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and golden brown crust, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this cake is sure to please.
