Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup cornmeal
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey (plus more for garnish)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 (14.07 ounce) can creamed corn
• 1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
• 1/2 cup canned corn kernels, drained

For the Frosting:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon fine salt

Instructions

To Make the Cake:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×9-inch baking pan with baking spray. Set aside.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the sugar, honey, melted butter, and vegetable oil until well combined. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.
4. Incorporate Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the sour cream and creamed corn in two additions. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
5. Add Corn Kernels: Fold in the drained corn kernels until evenly distributed.
6. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.

To Make the Frosting:

1. Prepare the Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and lump-free.
2. Add Sugar and Flavoring: Gradually add the powdered sugar, followed by the vanilla extract and salt. Beat until the frosting is smooth and well combined.
3. Frost the Cake: If desired, level off the cooled cake with a serrated knife for a flatter surface. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake, drizzle with additional honey, slice, and serve.

Enjoy this Creamed Corn Snacking Cake as a deliciously different treat that perfectly balances sweetness with the comforting flavor of corn!
