Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan with butter, ensuring even coverage to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    Blend the sweet corn kernels and whole milk in a blender until mostly smooth, retaining a little texture for a rustic finish.

  3. 3

    In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.

  4. 4

    Add the blended corn-milk mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. Sift in the flour and baking powder, folding gently to avoid overmixing.

  5. 5

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing for best moisture retention.
