Love that sweet corn cake that your favorite Mexican restaurant serves? Than why not make it at home...so easy and SO good. I like to serve it with a spicy dinner...although I am told it is served as a dessert as well.

- In a blender or food processor give corn a whirl to chop it up a bit but still leave it somewhat chunky.
- Beat butter in medium bowl until creamy. Add masa harina and water and beat until mixed well.
- Stir the blended corn into the butter mixture.
- In a seperate bowl combine corn meal,sugar,heavy cream,baking powder and salt.
- Add that to the butter/corn mixture and stir until combined well.
- Spread into 8x8 square pan and cover with foil. Put the 8x8 pan into a 9x13 pan and add water to about 1/3 of the way up the 8x8 pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Cool for about 10 minutes and serve by scooping it out either with a spoon or ice cream scoop.
