Out of all the things to make with fresh corn, Sweet Corn Cake might be my favorite! It is a breeze to make and goes great with a cup of coffee.

Ingredients  

  • 2 1/2 cups corn kernels, aprox 3 ears
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk

  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Butter and flour a 10-inch angel food cake pan. Reserve.
  • Combine the corn kernels and the milk in the jar of a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Add the coconut milk, cornmeal, sugar, oil, eggs, coconut and salt. Pulse until combined.
  • Add the baking powder and pulse one or two times, just to incorporate into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
