  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup melted butter

  • 1/3 cup neutral oil ( i used avocado)

  • 2 tablespoons honey ( I love this local one)

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla

Dry Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup fine yellow cornmeal

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Mascarpone addition

  • 1/4 cup mascarpone, room temp
    (fold in at the end for extra velvet texture)

Optional texture boost

  • 1/2 cup extra whole corn kernels

Optional crust

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar sprinkled on top before baking

1. Prep

Heat oven to 350 F. Line an 8 by 8 or 9 inch pan with parchment and oil sides.

2. Blend the wet base

Blend corn, milk, sour cream, eggs, melted butter, oil, honey, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

3. Mix dry ingredients

Whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

4. Combine

Pour the blended mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined.

5. Add mascarpone

Fold in the mascarpone. It will give the batter a glossy, silky look. Add whole kernels if using.

6. Bake

Pour into the pan. Add brown sugar on top if you want a caramelized crust.

Bake 30 to 38 minutes. A toothpick should have moist crumbs on it, not come out clean.

Cool 15 to 20 minutes before adding glaze.
