In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg white, and honey until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the drained canned sweet corn until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each corn cake, spreading lightly to form an even circle.
Cook the corn cakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the cooked corn cakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying nonstick spray as needed.
Serve the sweet corn cakes warm, topped with your choice of low-fat sour cream, salsa, or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness (optional).
