Sweet Corn Cake, This Corn Cake is so easy to make that you won’t believe you didn’t know about it before. Did I mention easy? It is. So, go ahead and get yourself some fresh corn while they are still available and prepare this delightful dessert.

– Bake in the oven for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted near center of cake comes out clean, or until cake springs back when touched lightly in the center. It will have a nice golden color when done. In some parts of Mexico it is served with Mexican cream and roasted Poblano peppers strips, but I just like it as a dessert.
