Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• 0.75 cup sweet corn kernels, drained if canned
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs until smooth. If you are using honey, whisk it into the wet ingredients as well.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Gently fold in the sweet corn kernels, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the corn cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish with butter, or enjoy on its own as a sweet treat!
