Categories     Appetizer     Side Dish

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons honey
1 cup yellow cornmeal (I like medium grind for the texture)
1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 eggs (at room temperature)
1 cup low-fat buttermilk (at room temperature; or 1 cup 2% milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar)
1 1/2 cups freshly grated sharp cheddar, cheddar jack, or pepper jack cheese, or a mix (divided)
1 (7-ounce) can Mexican-style corn (drained (about 1 cup))
1 large jalapeño pepper (seeded, membranes removed, and minced)
2 green onions (chopped, divided (about 1/4 cup))

Steps:

  • Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two opposite sides like handles. Lightly coat with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a medium microwave-safe mixing bowl and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • In a large, separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the eggs to the bowl with the melted butter and whisk until blended. Stir in the buttermilk and honey. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and, by hand, stir gently just until combined. The batter will be lumpy. Gently stir in 1 cup of the cheese, corn, jalapeño peppers, and half of the green onions. Let the batter sit at room temperature for 20 minutes while you preheat the oven.
  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining green onions and 1/2 cup cheese on top. Bake the cornbread for 28 to 32 minutes, or until center is set, the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan, then using the parchment paper, lift it onto a cutting board. For tidy slicing, let cool completely. For warm, messy slices, cut right away and enjoy!

MEXICAN SWEET CORN CAKE



Mexican Sweet Corn Cake image

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.

Categories     Corn

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons shortening
1/2 cup masa harina
5 tablespoons cold water (may add more to reach consistency of cookie dough)
10 ounces frozen corn kernels
3 tablespoons cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Whip butter and shortening in a mixing bowl and beat until creamy.
  • Add Masa harina slowly and mix thoroughly.
  • Add water until cookie dough consistency and mix.
  • Blend in corn kernels.

  • Allow to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • May serve with an ice cream scoop or cut into squares.
  • You may use a food processor and add ingredients as specified above.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best for this recipe, but you can also use frozen or canned corn. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and brown properly. Preheat the oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before baking.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving: Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving so that it has a chance to set. This will make it easier to slice and serve.

Conclusion:

Sweet Mexican cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, flavorful, and has a slightly sweet taste. This recipe is a great way to use up fresh corn on the cob, and it can also be made with frozen or canned corn.
