Ingredients

• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 0.5 cup Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Granulated Sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter, melted and cooled

• 1 cup Whole Kernel Corn, drained (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 0.25 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, Greek yogurt, and eggs until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Stir in the whole kernel corn, milk, and vanilla extract until evenly combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until no lumps remain. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to smooth the top into an even layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the corn cake to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature as a sweet treat or as an accompaniment to a savory meal.
