MEXICAN SWEET CORN CAKE
I love Mexican Food! This is a tasty little side dish served at restaurants such as Chi Chi's, El Torito, and Chevy's Fresh Mex. This is more like a corn pudding, but I have known others to fry the dough into a pancake. Masa Harina, one of the ingredients, means corn flour. I have found it at major grocery chains or you can find it at a store that specializes in Hispanic foods. I could eat this for breakfast, lunch , and dinner.

MICROWAVE MEXICAN RESTAURANT SWEET CORN CAKE
Copy Cat Recipe. I wanted a quick recipe to copy the sweet corn cakes that are served at Mexican restaurants like El Torito and Chi Chi's. This is ready to eat in about 15 minutes. If you don't have masa harina flour on hand, you can add an additional 1/4 cup of yellow cornmeal, but the masa harina flour adds the authentic taste to this dish. For a less sweet dish, reduce granulated sugar to 1/3 cup. For a firmer sweet corn cake, microwave an additional 3-minutes.

Tips:
- Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
- Be sure to drain the corn kernels well before adding them to the batter. Excess moisture will make the cake soggy.
- For a sweeter cake, add an extra 1/2 cup of sugar to the batter.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
