Where to find ingredients
Find fresh corn at local farmers' markets or produce sections of neighborhood grocery stores. Whole milk, oil, eggs, and Parmesan cheese are standard items available in the dairy and pantry aisles of any local food market.
Preparation method
- Carefully cut the corn kernels off the cobs using a sharp knife or a corn stripper.
- Place the corn kernels, eggs, oil, sugar, and milk into a blender.
- Blend the mixture until completely smooth and creamy.
- If the batter seems too thin due to the juiciness of the corn, add a small amount of all-purpose flour until it reaches a thicker consistency.
- Gently fold the grated Parmesan cheese into the corn batter.
- Add the baking powder last and stir delicately by hand to ensure it is evenly incorporated.
- Grease a large cake pan or several individual molds with butter and a light dusting of flour.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F).
- Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cake feels firm to the touch.
- Perform the toothpick test by inserting it into the center to ensure the cake is fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before attempting to unmold.
