Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with a little butter to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    In a blender, combine fresh corn kernels, whole milk, and condensed milk; blend until mostly smooth but some texture remains.

  3. 3

    In a mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter until light, then beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  4. 4

    Add the corn mixture, vanilla extract, and incorporate with the creamed butter and eggs; mix thoroughly.

  5. 5

    Sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture; stir until just combined—do not overmix.

  6. 6

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish; smooth the top with a spatula.

  7. 7

    Bake on the center rack for 45–50 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
