Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cup sweet corn kernels, drained if canned
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs until smooth. If you are using honey, whisk it into the wet ingredients as well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the sweet corn kernels, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the corn cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm as a side dish with butter, or enjoy on its own as a sweet treat!
