Spanish Corn Cake
With an electric mixer, beat butter/margarine until fluffy. Gradually beat in masa harina. On low speed, beat in water. Place corn in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until chopped coarse. Stir in masa mixture. IN a small bowl, stir together sugar, cornmeal, cream, baking powder, and salt. Stir in to corn mixture. Spread in a greased 8-inch square baking pan. Cover with foil. Pace in a large pan and pour boiling water half way up the side of the smaller pan. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes or until set. Remove smaller pan from water, uncover and let stand 15 minutes. Sprinkle with chilies and parsley if desired. *Masa Harina is a flour that you can obtain from a Spanish Food Grocery Store. Sometimes you can find it in your bigger Grocery Chains such as Kroger's. I usually don't use Masa, and just use regular flour instead. I think it turns out just fine. |
