I stole this recipe for Sweet Corn Cakes from a cookbook called Favorite Family Recipes: Most Requested Copycat Dishes who stole it from Chevy’s Restaurant. These delicious corn cakes are the perfect side dish for any main dish. Butter is beaten until it is creamy, then water and cornmeal are added with corn. Next in another bowl cornmeal, sugar, whipping cream, salt and baking powder. Both mixtures are added together then split evenly between ramekins. The ramekins are added to a water bath and baked for an hour. After cooling slightly, these delicious corn cakes are ready to eat. This recipe is another tasty way to eat corn.

The ingredients for this recipe are: ¼ cup butter, ¼ cup water, ⅓ cup + ¼ cup cornmeal, 1 ½ cups frozen corn, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream, ¼ tsp salt and ½ tsp baking powder

In a medium bowl, beat butter with hand mixer until creamy. Add water and ⅓ cup cornmeal until blended.

Stir the corn into the butter mixture. Set aside.

Then in a separate bowl, mix remaining ¼ cup cornmeal, sugar, whipping cream, salt and baking powder.

Split the batter evenly between 6 (10 oz) ramekins.

Smooth batter and cover with foil. Prepare a water bath by filling a 9×13 baking dish (not glass) a third of the way full with water. Then place the ramekins in the water bath.

Bake at 350 F for 50 to 60 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
