Sweet Corn Tamale Cakes (Cheesecake Factory)

• servings: 4 servings
• total time: 1 hour

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups frozen sweet corn

1/2 cup butter, softened

3 tablespoons sugar

1 pinch salt

1/2 cup corn masa harina flour (corn flour)

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

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.

Add masa and flour and blend well. Mix in the remaining 1/2 cup of frozen corn kernels by hand.

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.

Carefully flip all cakes with a spatula and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes or until other side is browned.

Assembly: Place all three cakes on a warmed serving platter. Dollop each with salsa verde or red salsa. Garnish with cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.
