Sweet corn bread with a moist, naturally sweet flavor is a beloved Mexican baked treat. This vegetarian, family-friendly dessert is a fresh, simple confection that celebrates Mexican corn.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan with butter, ensuring even coverage to prevent sticking.
Blend the sweet corn kernels and whole milk in a blender until mostly smooth, retaining a little texture for a rustic finish.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
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.
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.
