Ingredients That Bring the Party

Before we get cooking, let’s gather the ingredients. Trust me, you want to have these on hand!

  • 1 cup of finely ground cornmeal
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 can (15 ounces) of sweet corn, drained
  • 1 cup of shredded cheese (Mexican blend works wonders)
  • Optional: jalapeños for some heat!

Instructions to Sweet Success

Now that we have our ingredients, let’s roll up our sleeves and get cooking!

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get that heat going!
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until they are well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. No need to get too ambitious here; we want a tender cake, not a workout session! 😊
  5. Fold in the sweet corn and shredded cheese. If you’re feeling extra spicy, toss in those jalapeños!
  6. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish and pour in the batter, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell like heaven, and you’ll probably start doing the salsa without even realizing it!
  8. Let it cool for a bit, slice it up, and serve warm or at room temperature. It’s delicious either way!
