Creamy Corn Cake with Cheese: A Taste of Home in Every Bite

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of cornmeal
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 can (15 oz) of creamed corn
  • 1 cup of whole milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • 1/4 cup of butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized pan.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to ensure the dry ingredients are well mixed.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, creamed corn, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
  5. Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the corn cake to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
