Sweet Corn Cake

Sweet Corn Cake
by Jennifer Carlisle

I have had this wonderful side dish in restaurants before, and it was time I make some for myself at home. I love to serve this dish with spicy tacos. The sweetness of this dish balances the spicyness of the tacos, but of course you can serve this with many other meals as well.

Ingredients:
-1/2 cup butter melted
-1/3 cup Masa Harina (Corn Flour) 
-1/4 cup water
-1- 15oz. can cream style corn, you can substitute 1- 15 oz can of sweet corn
-1/4 cup corn meal
-1/3 cup granulated sugar
-2 tbsp. milk
-1/4 tsp. salt
-1/2 tsp. baking powder

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl with a whisk.
If using a muffin tin, line with cupcake liners (about 8-10 of them). Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full. Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes. They are done when they look like they have firmed up and are not so jiggly if you were to give the pan a little shake. They will be a little moist looking in the center, but for the most part cooked all the way. When you let it sit after they have baked, it will continue to cook and firm up.
If using a loaf pan, just pour mixture into an ungreased loaf pan, and bake at 350 F for 50-60 minutes. To serve, use an ice cream scoop.
*Serves 4
