Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh corn and dairy products at local markets or supermarkets in the produce and refrigerated sections. Parmesan cheese is readily available in the cheese aisle of your local grocery store.
Preparation method
- Carefully cut the corn kernels from the cobs using a sharp knife or a corn stripper.
- Place the corn kernels, eggs, oil, sugar, and milk into a blender.
- Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- If the batter seems too liquid due to the corn's moisture, add a small amount of all-purpose flour until it reaches a thicker consistency.
- Gently fold the grated Parmesan cheese into the batter.
- Add the baking powder last, folding it in delicately to incorporate.
- Grease a large cake tin or individual molds with butter and a dusting of flour.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tins and place them in an oven preheated to 180°C (350°F).
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and feels firm to the touch.
- Insert a toothpick into the center to check if it comes out clean, confirming the cake is baked through.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool down completely before turning it out of the tin.
