Creamy Corn Cake Recipe
Ingredients
- 220 grams butter
- 200 grams castor sugar
- 4 eggs
- 250 grams self-raising flour
- 4 tablespoons heaped sweet kernel corn
- 30 ml full cream milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 pinch fine salt
Method
- Take a mixing bowl, put in butter and sugar and cream it with an electric beater for 2 minutes on medium speed, number 3.
- Once this mixture is light and creamy and the colour has lightened, put in 1 egg at a time and continue this process until you finish all 4 eggs. After every egg, do beat the mixture on speed number 1 lightly.
- Now add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence. Put in 4 tablespoons of sweet kernel corn.
- Now remember to sieve the self-raising flour with a pinch of salt. Add milk gradually and fold in the flour 1 ladle at a time slowly until it finishes. Use a spatula for this process.
- Line your cake tin with some butter and non-stick baking paper. Use a square 7 or 8-inch baking tin.
- Preheat your oven for 10 minutes before baking. Bake at 160 degrees Celcius for 35 to 40 minutes depending on your oven.
- Do tap your cake tin at least 3 to 4 times before putting it in the oven. Once your cake is baked, do test it with a skewer whether it comes out clean, if it is then it means it is ready. Switch off your oven and take your cake out. Done.
