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:
- Choose the right corn. Fresh, sweet corn is best for this recipe. Look for ears with plump, tightly packed kernels.
- Grate the corn. This is the best way to get a fine, even texture in your cake. You can use a box grater or a food processor fitted with the grating blade.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at a high temperature. This will help the cake rise and create a crispy crust.
- Serve the cake warm. Sweet corn cake is best served warm from the oven. You can also let it cool completely and then store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Sweet corn cake is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, an appetizer, or even a main course. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy corn, give this recipe a try.
