SWEET CORN CAKES
These cakes are an ode to my home state of Kansas, which I adore so much that I have an outline of it tattooed on my neck! Kansas has the dreamiest and sweetest corn you ever did eat. The polenta in this recipe produces a perfect, slightly dense, not-too-sweet dessert that's somewhere between cornbread and cake.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), with a rack in the middle. Lightly grease eighteen 4-ounce ramekins, muffin cups (see Chef's Notes), or free-standing baking cups (see Chef's Notes) and place on two baking sheets.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, polenta, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another medium bowl, whisk the butter, honey, eggs, and buttermilk to combine. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until well combined. Fold in the corn.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared ramekins or muffin cups, filling each just over three-quarters full.
- Bake the cakes (on the baking sheets) until they are golden at the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then unmold.
- Serve the cakes warm or at room temperature, with a dollop of creme fraiche and a drizzle of honey.

HABANERO HONEY SWEET CORN CAKE
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.

No more corn muffin mix! I added chopped jalapenos and lots of grated cheddar cheese to these for last night's dinner of tomato-garlic soup and salad.
