Sweet Corn Cakes {made with Jiffy Cornbread Mix}
A long time ago, I found a sweet {no pun intended} discovery at the grocery store: Chi Chi's sweet corn cake mix. It was heavenly. I would whip up these extra moist, sweet corn cakes to serve along side any Mexican dish I was making. I don't know if they were only offered regionally in the Midwest, or if they just don't sell the Chi Chi's corn cake mix anymore, but when we moved to Texas I was no longer able to find it at the store - boo hoo! Well, I like things quick and easy and there are a lot of recipes online for these sweet corn cakes, but I haven't found any that I liked that uses Jiffy's Cornbread mix. A lot of the ones I found online called for at least 1 egg and that made it too cornbready for me and not enough super-moist-cake-goodnessy for me. So, I took out the egg and after a few attempts this is what I have come up with, I finally have my sweet, extra-moist corn cakes again! Here it is below...to you, from KC...
Ingredients
- 8 oz. box of Jiffy Cornbread Mix
- 14.75 oz. can of sweet creamed corn
- 3/4 cup sweet golden corn kernels
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup salted butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp. heavy whipping cream
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in microwave. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl by hand until well mixed. Line muffin tin with cupcake liners, fill liners to top with corn cake mixture. Bake 45-50 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool at least 5 minutes before serving. Cakes will be extremely moist and will crumble easily...enjoy!
