CORN CAKE
Don Pablo's Restaurant Copycat Recipe
1/2 cup softened butter (do not substitute)
1/3 cup corn flour
1/4 cup water
1 (10 oz.) can creamed corn
1/4 cup corn meal
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
In a medium bowl beat butter until creamy. Add corn flour and water and beat until well mixed. Stir in corn.
In a separate bowl, mix cornmeal, sugar cream, salt and baking powder. Add to corn mixture and stir to combine. Pour batter into an non greased 8 by 8 pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Place pan into a 9 x 13 baking pan that is filled 1/3 with hot water.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes. Allow to cool 10 minutes. Use an ice cream scoop to remove. Serves 6.
Cook's Notes: The secret to this dish to get it creamy like Don Pablo's is the steaming so it is important to bake it covered and inside a pan of water.
