Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Fresh corn kernels (from about 2 ears of corn)
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Cornmeal
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Fresh raspberries
- 0.25 cups Confectioners' sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easier release.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a blender or food processor, pulse the fresh corn kernels until they are slightly pureed but still have some texture. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold the processed corn kernels into the batter. Be careful not to overwork the batter to maintain a light texture.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Scatter the fresh raspberries on top, pressing them gently into the batter.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is lightly golden brown.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the cake with confectioners' sugar before serving to enhance presentation and add a sweet finish.
Slice and serve at room temperature as a dessert, breakfast, or snack. Enjoy!
