El Torito Sweet Corn Cake
This is by far one of my family's all time favorite recipes. I serve it alongside chili or other tex-mex meals. I used to make the version that used masa harina and cooked it in a water bath. This version is much more convenient and tastes just as good.
Ingredients:
1 (7 1/2 oz.) package sweet cornbread mix
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1 (15 oz.) can cream-style corn
Directions:
1. In bowl, combine corn cake mix with melted butter. Add water, sugar and can of cream style
corn. Mix until ingredients are combined.
2. Pour mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
3. Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until liquid has been absorbed.
4. Use an ice cream scoop to serve sweet corn cake as a side dish or for dessert. (Yes, it's that
sweet!)
