Description

This Creamed Corn Snacking Cake is a moist and tender treat that combines the sweet, comforting flavors of corn with a luscious cream cheese frosting. Perfect for casual gatherings or an afternoon snack, this cake showcases a delightful texture from creamed corn and whole corn kernels baked into a golden cornmeal and flour base. The rich cream cheese frosting with a hint of vanilla complements the natural sweetness and adds a creamy finish. Drizzled with honey for an extra touch of sweetness, this cake serves 9 large or 12 small slices and is easy to prepare with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 (14.07 ounce) can creamed corn
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup canned corn kernels, drained

For the Frosting:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9x9 inch baking pan with baking spray to prevent sticking. Set aside while you prepare the batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside to incorporate later into the batter.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, honey, melted butter, and vegetable oil until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time to the wet mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition to ensure a cohesive batter.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Creamed Corn Mixture: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three parts, alternating with the sour cream and creamed corn mixture in two parts, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. This helps maintain a smooth batter without overmixing.
  6. Fold in Corn Kernels: Gently fold in the drained canned corn kernels to evenly distribute them throughout the batter without breaking them up.
  7. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared 9x9 pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake to keep the cake tender.
  8. Cool Completely: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. Cooling is essential before frosting to prevent melting.
  9. Prepare Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and free of lumps. Gradually add the powdered sugar, then mix in the vanilla extract and salt until creamy and well blended.
  10. Level Cake and Frost: If desired, use a serrated knife to level off the top of the cooled cake for a neat, flat surface. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cake.
  11. Garnish and Serve: Drizzle additional honey over the frosted cake for extra sweetness and a touch of shine. Slice into 9 large or 12 small pieces, serve, and enjoy your delicious creamed corn snacking cake!

Notes

  • Ensure eggs and dairy ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a smooth batter and prevent curdling.
  • Do not overbake the cake to keep it moist and tender; check doneness early.
  • If you prefer a more defined corn flavor, you can add extra corn kernels or substitute fresh corn if in season.
  • For a dairy-free or vegan adaptation, substitute cream cheese and butter with plant-based alternatives and eggs with flax or chia seeds.
  • Storing the cake covered in the refrigerator will keep the cream cheese frosting fresh for up to 3 days.
