Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/3 cup masa masa is corn flour, which cannot be substituted with corn meal
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn thawed, if frozen
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the masa and water, and beat until incorporated. Set aside.
  • Pulse the corn in the food processor. Leave the corn chunky! Stir the corn into the butter mixture.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, and stir to combine.
  • Stir the corn meal mixture into the butter-corn mixture just until incorporated. Pour into an ungreased 8x8" baking pan.
  • Place the baking pan into a 13x9" baking dish with water filled up 1/3 of the way full. Cover the corn cake with foil.
  • Place on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. Cool 10 minutes, then use an ice cream or cookie scoop for serving.

Notes

  • Use roasted corn for extra flavor and flair!
