Ingredients
- ¼ cup Butter, softened
- ¼ cup water
- ⅓ plus ¼ cup cornmeal, divided
- 1 ½ cups frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a water bath by filling a 9x13-inch baking dish one-third of the way with water. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat butter with a hand mixer until creamy. Add water and ⅓ cup cornmeal until well blended.
- Using a food processor, process thawed corn, but leave it chunky. Stir into the butter mixture. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix the remaining ¼ cup cornmeal, sugar, cream, salt, and baking powder. Add to the cornmeal mixture and stir to combine.
- Pour batter into an ungreased 8x8-inch baking dish, casserole dish, or 6 custard cups if you want individual servings.
- Smooth the batter and cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Place pan in prepared water bath.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Notes
- You can bake the tomalitos in 6 (10-ounce) custard cups instead of a baking dish if you want to create cute individual servings.
- The water bath helps the corn cake maintain moisture.
