- 13 cup masa harina
- 14 cup water
- 1 12 cups frozen corn, thawed
- 14 cup cornmeal
- 13 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 12 teaspoon baking powder
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Blend butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until creamy.
- Add the masa harina and water to the butter and beat until well combined.
- Put defrosted corn into blender or food processor and with short pulses, coarsley chop the corn on low speed.
- You want to leave several whole pieces of corn.
- Stir the chopped corn into the butter and masa harina mixture.
- Add cornmeal to the mixture and combine.
- In another medium bowl, mix together the sugar, cream, salt, and baking powder.
- When the ingredients are well blended (NOTE: It turns out much better if you blend till it's thick & creamy), pour the mixture into the other bowl and stir everything together BY HAND.
- Pour corn batter into an ungreased "8x8" baking pan.
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
- Place this pan into a "9x13" pan filled 1/3 of the way up with hot water.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the corn cake is cooked through.
- When the corn cake is done, remove the small pan from the larger pan and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
- To serve, scoop out each portion with an ice cream scoop or rounded spoon(NOTE: 1/4 or 1/3 measuring cup works great, press "cake" in cup to form before placing on plate) .
