This cake is very popular in the East Coast. Natale's Bakery in New Jersey is famous for this cake. I made a small cake but this recipe can be easily doubled and baked in a 12 cup tube or Bundt pan. The powdered sugar is a must on this cake.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup frozen whole-kernel corn
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions, plus more for garnish
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • sour cream, for serving

Directions 

Step 1: 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a tube or Bundt pan and set aside. 

Step 2: 

Beat butter, cream cheese, and shortening together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. 

Step 3: 

Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Beat flour mixture into cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined. 

Step 4: 

Beat in 1 egg. Add 1/2 cup sugar; mix until combined. Repeat with second egg and remaining sugar; beat in last egg. Beat in vanilla extract. Pour batter into the prepared pan. 

Step 5: 

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 38 to 45 minutes. 

Step 6: 

Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan and cool completely. When cake is completely cool, sift powdered sugar in a thick layer over the whole cake.
