HABANERO HONEY SWEET CORN CAKE



Habanero Honey Sweet Corn Cake image

This habanero honey sweet corn cake is spicy, sweet, savory, dense, moist, and very addictive! I also had no idea what to call this, as it's not really a cake, but it's also not a pie, or a pudding, or a custard, so I ended up with "cake" since it's inspired by sweet Mexican corn cake. No matter what you call this, it's phenomenal! Garnish with fresh fruit and top with crème fraiche, sour cream, Mexican crema, or whipped cream and freshly grated lime zest.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes: Choose a mix of sweet potato varieties, such as Garnet, Jewel, and Covington, for a range of flavors and textures.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes ahead of time: Roasting the sweet potatoes in advance saves time and allows you to meal prep for the week.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the hash, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will help the potatoes crisp up and prevent them from steaming.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once the hash is cooked, top it with your favorite ingredients, such as salsa, avocado, sour cream, or a fried egg.
  • Make it a meal: Serve the sweet potato hash with a side of protein, such as chicken, fish, or tofu, to make it a complete meal.
