Chi-Chi's Sweet Corn Cake
1/2 cup butter -- softened
1/3 cup masa harina
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups frozen corn -- thawed
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp heavy cream
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Blend the butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until creamy.
Add the masa harina and water to the butter and beat until well
combined. Put the defrosted corn into a blender or food processor
and, with short pulses, coarsely chop the corn on low speed. You want
to leave several whole kernels of corn. Stir the chopped corn into
the butter and masa harina
mixture. Add the cornmeal to the mixture. Combine.
In another medium bowl, mix together the sugar, cream, salt, and
baking powder. When the ingredients are well-blended, pour the
mixture into the other bowl and stir everything together by hand. Pour
the corn batter into an ungreased 8x8-inch baking pan. Smooth the
surface of the batter with a spatula. Cover the pan with aluminum
foil.
Place this pan into a 13x9-inch pan filled one-third of the way up
with hot water.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the corn cake is cooked through.
When the corn cake is done, remove the small pan from the larger pan
and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. To serve, scoop out each
portion with an ice cream scoop or rounded spoon.

the supermarket. --

I've never tried the corn cakes but you may want to check out this web site. They have a lot of recipes they claim to taste like the "real" thing.
