Guatemalan Corn Cake Recipe
Cook Time: 55 minutes
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 16
Ingredients:
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1 cup eggs (approximately 4 large eggs)
- 4 cups corn kernels (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt or tube pan, ensuring your cake won’t stick when it’s ready to be served.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla instant pudding mix, eggs, corn kernels, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix all the ingredients together on medium speed for approximately 2 minutes. This will ensure that all the ingredients are well incorporated, resulting in a smooth and delicious batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt or tube pan, spreading it out evenly to ensure even baking throughout the cake.
-
Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for about 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. This is a crucial step to ensure your corn cake is perfectly baked and ready to be enjoyed by all.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for approximately 15 minutes. This cooling period allows the cake to set and makes it easier to remove from the pan without damaging its delicate structure.
-
After cooling in the pan, carefully turn the cake out onto a serving platter or cake stand. The beautiful golden exterior and irresistible aroma will surely tantalize your senses, building anticipation for the moment you get to indulge in this delightful treat.
-
Finally, once the cake has cooled completely, dust it with powdered sugar if desired. This adds a touch of sweetness and elegance to the cake, making it even more irresistible to anyone lucky enough to enjoy a slice.
