Sweet Corn Tomalitos (Corn Cake)

Step 1

In a medium bowl beat butter with a hand mixer until it is creamy. Add 1/3 cup cornmeal and water and until well blended. Using a food processor, process thawed corn, but leave chunky. Stir into the butter mixture.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix cornmeal, sugar, cream, salt, and baking powder. Add to the cornmeal mixture and stir to combine. Pour batter into an ungreased 8x8 inch baking pan, casserole dish, or 6 custard cups if you want individual servings. Smooth batter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Place pan into a 9x13 inch baking dish that is filled a third of the way with water. The corn cake is baked in the water bath to maintain moisture.

Step 3

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
