YUMM-O

I made this today. I guess I should have taken a picture but it didn't last long enough. I will double the corn cakes recipe next time.

Sweet Corn Tamale Cakes the Cheesecake Factory Copycat Recipe

1 hour | 30 min prep

SERVES 4


Salsa Verde

For Tomato Salsa

For Southwestern Sauce

For Cakes

  1. Prepare salsa verde by combining all prepared ingredients. Chill.
  2. Prepare tomato salsa by combining all prepared ingredients. Chill.
  3. Prepare southwestern sauce by combining all ingredients. Chill.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  5. Prepare the tamale cakes by chopping 1 cup of the frozen corn in a food processor until it's coarsely pureed. Combine pureed corn with softened butter, sugar, and salt. Blend well.
  6. Add masa and flour and blend well. Mix in the remaining 1/2 cup of frozen corn kernels by hand.
  7. Measure 1/2 cup portions of the mixture and form it into 3" wide patties with your hands. Arrange the patties on a baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the cakes are browned on the bottom.
  8. Carefully flip all cakes with a spatula and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes or until other side is browned.
  9. Assembly: Place all three cakes on a warmed serving platter. Dollop each with one of the three sauces. Garnish with diced avocado, cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.

Oh, mmmm, I am drooling. You made that?! Wow, mmm, yumm-o is right. I will have to try that sometime when I don't have kids yelling at me that they are starving, while they lie on the floor and pretend to die.:)

Thia sounds like a lot but the salsa and sauce makes quite a bit, but the corn cakes are pretty easy and oh so good. I am making them again today since I already have the salsa.
