Ingredients
½ cup butter, softened
⅓ cup masa harina
¼ cup water
1 ½ cups frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed
⅓ cup white sugar
¼ cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Beat butter in a medium bowl until creamy. Add masa harina and water and beat until well mixed. Set aside.
Process corn in a food processor, but leave chunky. Stir into butter mixture until incorporated.
Mix sugar, cornmeal, cream, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl until well blended. Add to masa harina mixture and stir to combine.
Pour batter into an ungreased 8×8-inch baking pan; smooth the top of batter. Cover the pan with aluminum foil, then place into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Fill the baking dish with water to a third of the way up the sides of the baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Use an ice cream scoop for easy removal from the pan.
