Ingredients

  • 4 cups of fresh green corn kernels
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup of whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan.
  • In a blender, puree the corn kernels with milk until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Stir in the corn puree until the batter is smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra creamy texture, choose the freshest corn available.
  • If fresh corn is not available, canned corn drained of its liquid can be a substitute, though fresh is preferred for the best flavor.
  • Serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for added decadence.
