Fresh Corn Cake With Raspberries

"Puréed fresh corn adds unique sweetness to this dessert. Tossing the raspberries with a small amount of flour prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the cake. From the July 2002 Cooking Light Magazine."

  1. "Heavenly! World class!" is what a friend said when I served him a piece of this fabulous cake! I found this easy to make - very straight-forward. I have never heard of a cake using raw corn kernels, along with fresh lemon juice and a generous amount of vanilla extract as flavors! The fragrance is wonderful, it has pretty colors, and the texture is dense, but not heavy. Perfect! Made for ZWT4. So glad you posted this recipe, California Jan!
     
  2. I've made this a few times now and love adding honey. Once I was short on time (determined to bring these to a meeting!) and decided to bake them as muffins. If you do, be sure to use paper cups. The raspberries make them a little hard to hold together but still totally work. Thanks for the great recipe! This quickly became a family favorite!
     
  3. For ZWT 5 the Dining Daredevils. I love corn and in this recipe it was so good. I was pleasantly surprised that it went well with the raspberries in this recipe.
     
  4. This was lovely! Surprising combination, but it really works well together. Such a moist cake, too. I think this would be a perfect item on a brunch table because of the somewhat muffin-like texture of it. The contrast of the whole berries with the yellow corn base makes it an attractive cake (if you're really careful with folding in the berries, they stay pretty intact and don't bleed into the cake much). I kept this cake at home for DH and I, but I'll have to make this again and bring it to work for the tech table -- I think my coworkers would go nuts for this! Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT4 Family Picks
     
  5. Wow!!! I love this! It is one of my favorite recipes from Zaar! Fresh corn and fresh raspberries! YUM! So easy to make. Not too sweet, just perfect for an afternoon snack or dessert. I will make this often!!!
