Don Pablo’s Corn Cake
1/2 cup softened butter (do not substitute)
1/3 cup corn flour
1/4 cup water
1 10oz can creamed corn
1/4 cup corn meal
1/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream (I use regular milk)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
In a medium bowl beat butter until creamy. Add corn flour and water and beat until well mixed. Stir in corn.
In a separate bowl, mix cornmeal, sugar cream, salt and baking powder. Add to corn mixture and stir to combine. Pour batter into an ungreased 8x8 pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Place pan into a 9 x 13 baking pan that is filled 1/3 with hot water.
Bake at 350 (175C) for 50 - 60 minutes. Allow to cool 10 minutes. Use an ice cream scoop to remove. Server warm.
NOTE: The secret to getting it creamy like Don Pablo’s is the steaming so it is important to bake it covered and inside a pan of water.
