Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the fresh corn kernels, green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
