Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ears sweet white corn, husked
1 ¾ cups softened butter, plus more for baking dish
5 eggs
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan. Chill in freezer.
  • Cut kernels from ears of corn with a sharp knife. Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Combine eggs, condensed milk, whole milk, and corn kernels in a blender; blend until smooth. Transfer egg mixture to a bowl with butter and mix well.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into a large bowl. Add egg mixture and mix well to combine.
  • Remove cake pan from freezer. Grease and flour again. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove from tin and cool on a wire rack.
