Hey guys issue chef Chris and today we are making sweet corn cake delicious what a great complement to any kind of Mexican dish enchiladas Rio knows gorditas any kind of spicy dish this works perfect with it it’s sweet its moist as suddenly it’s awesome I learned that little Mexican restaurant up there

In New Mexico called garden eels if you’re from New Mexico you should know what I’m talking about but you guys are gonna enjoy we’re gonna get started all right so we’re gonna start preheating our oven to 350 degrees this is a very fast very simple recipe so go ahead and

Get that oven started in a food processor we have got some corn now you don’t want to use any kind of charred corn on the grill anything you charbroiled or anything like that you want to use just regular corn maybe that you boiled canned corn will be fine we

Can use even frozen corn just make sure it equals out to about one and a half cups which is actually one can of corn okay now we’re gonna throw in a food processor we’re gonna blitz it you don’t want this to be mushy but you don’t want

The kernels to be too big either just give it a pulse check it give it a pulse and that was perfect all right so in a bowl we have got one stick of butter that has obviously been softened I let it out there and get it soft

Gonna give it a nice whip make sure it is very very creamy to this we are gonna add some masa harina now have all the ingredients down listed below so you don’t the write them down okay and we’re also gonna add a little bit of water so that flour doesn’t dry it up

Now my cider you know don’t get it confused with corn mill it’s corn flour okay you can find it most likely in any kind of supermarket grocery store definitely find in any kind of Mexican stores for sure all right to that we’re gonna add in our

Corn that we blitzed up and we’re gonna incorporate that just make sure everything’s mixed well finely so you don’t have too much butter in one area all right now it’s time to mix up our dry ingredients so we’re gonna start off with some corn mill like I mentioned

Earlier we are using corn mill we’re also gonna use some sugar a little bit of salt and some baking powder now I never have baking powder on hand I always make it myself just a little quick tip it’s two parts cream of tartar versus one part baking soda okay very

Simple I always make it myself and it’s good to that we’re also gonna add a little bit of cream and we’re gonna give it a nice stir sure there’s no lumps everything in here you want to make sure you stir very very well okay all right we’re done we’re

Good and we’re done basically with the recipe we’re gonna throw that right into the corn butter flour mixture mix that very well incorporate that very very well stir stir stir stir and mix and we’re done time to put it inside of a baking pen now I’m using just a regular

Loaf pan that I used to make bread or any kind of noodle dish probably as long as 8×8 you’re good we’re gonna go ahead and pour it right in there make sure it’s well evenly distributed so get a wooden gap your paddle or spatula and Pat it down all right now

We’re gonna go and cover this with some tinfoil want to make sure that doesn’t come out crispy at all this can be very moist okay so cover it with some tinfoil and we’re gonna put it in a water bath that’ll ensure it’ll be very very moist so basically we’re gonna put that little

Casserole dish inside of a bigger one fill it up with some hot water or Walmart is fine about a third halfway up and we’re good go and stick that right into the oven very very carefully you don’t want any of that water to spill all out very carefully and we’re good

All right set that timer for 55 minutes and when those 55 minutes are up you have got this gorgeous moist corn cake not corn bread if it’s possible I love corn bread but this might be even better it’s sweet it’s delicious its moist it’s corny and that was corny but it is a

Great guys goes great with enchiladas any kind of fairly spicy dish but that’s my corn cake recipe guys any recipes you guys would like to learn how to make a lemon oh and as always I hope you guys enjoy

  1. Wait–masa harina is NOT just corn flour. It has lime (calcium hydroxide) added–the typical way dried corn has been prepared for centuries in Central & South America. It has a distinctive flavor, and is actually more nutritious! https://www.cooksinfo.com/lime-chemical. Masa harina can be made from yellow corn, not just white.

  2. First time I had corn cake was at El Torito Grill that was so good I didn’t think of using YouTube to find the recipe until I find you going to make it for sure

  3. I was about to downvote this video and comment on how difficult is to make this cake using the fresh American corn, which is WAY different from the Mexican corn then I saw the comments from all the ladies hapilly commenting on how excited they are about cake corn using canned corn. LOL my apologies, I promise to keep my mouth shut, I guess it's hard to live between the two major cuisines in the world, American and Mexican, hugs.

  4. I’ve tried this recipe twice and mine just isn’t coming out like this. The taste is there but the texture is dry and crumbly and not moist. I’m following each step precisely idk what I’m doing wrong 😭

  5. Chef Chris!!💓💓
    Please tell us what kind of Cornmeal you used in this!! They ate So many different kinds!! Can your use the Jiffy??
    Thanks So Much!! 🙌🙌💓😋

  6. I like you’re corn tamal recipe thanks know if you can please send me your recipe for pork red tamales thank you

  7. My favorite Mexican restaurant added a scoop of this to all their entrees. It was a dark day when the owners retired fired all their employees without warning and became some trendy bar/restaurant with overpriced tequila shots.

    I just found a really good stove top steamed chocolate cake. I wonder if I can use the same process to cook this.

  8. This is a miracle!!!👏🏼👏🏼

    I have been looking for this recipe for years!!!🤷🏻‍♀️

    I have searched so many recipes high and low thinking it was (cornbread) it's not it's (sweet corn cake) got it! 👍🏻👍🏻😋😁

  9. I made this today & it tasted exactly like the 1 they sell at Chevys. This is hands down the best and I won't be looking any further. Thanks Chef

  10. He says: "LOAF PAN~ the kind you use to make bread." but then adds: "As long as it is 8"x8."
    Well, in MY neck of the woods an 8×8 pan is a BROWNIE PAN. It's square. Nothing like a loaf pan at all.
    So…..what pan did you guys who tried this recipe use?

  11. Went to Gardunios today and had this. Immediately had to look up how to make it lol. Thanks for sharing!

  12. Mine came out too crumbly. Mixing the dry ingredients did not look like in the video, wasn’t liquidy like that? Also, that doesn’t look like a 8×8 pan?
