Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh sweet corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for added flavor)
How to Make Creamy Sweet Corn Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the sweet corn kernels gently, making sure they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Use fresh corn for the best flavor, but frozen corn can work in a pinch—just thaw and drain it first.
- Don’t overmix the batter; mix until just combined to keep the cake light and fluffy.
Easy Variations
- Add a splash of lemon zest to brighten the flavor.
- Incorporate shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
- Top with whipped cream and fresh berries for an extra indulgent dessert.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- A drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.
