Plus How to Make Mexican Corn Cake

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/3 cup all purpose flour (see substitutes)

1 can (8.5 ounces) creamed corn

1 1/2 cups frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed

1/4 cup cornmeal

1/3 cup white sugar

2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream (optional)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl mix butter with a beater until it is creamy. Add the flour and mix well with a beater. Stir in the creamed corn and thawed whole-kernel corn.

In a separate bowl, mix the cornmeal, sugar, cream, salt, and baking powder. Then add it to the corn flour mixture and mix well with a beater.

Evenly pour the batter into an ungreased 11x7 inch baking pan. Cover with aluminum foil and place pan into a 13x9 inch baking dish that is filled a third of the way with water.

Bake for 50 - 60 minutes. Allow to cool (10 minutes). Serve warm and use an ice cream scooper to easily remove each serving from the pan.


Masa Harina (Corn Flour) can be substituted for the all-purpose flour. No corn flour? Just grind up some cornmeal in a food processor or coffee grinder.

No Masa Harina (corn flour)? Just grind up some cornmeal in a food processor or coffee grinder until it is the texture of flour. Or just use all-purpose flour. It will also work in this recipe.
