Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter.

  3. In a bowl, combine fresh corn kernels, habanero pepper, eggs, water, and honey.

  4. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until it is almost smooth.

  5. Add flour, melted butter, cornmeal, salt, and baking powder to the bowl.

  6. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined.

  7. Transfer the mixture into the greased pie dish and gently shake it to settle the mixture evenly.

  8. Bake the cake in the center of the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

  9. Allow the cake to cool to warm or room temperature before serving.

  10. Note that 3 ears of fresh corn will yield approximately 2 rounded cups of corn kernels. If desired, frozen corn can be used instead of fresh.

  11. If needed, warm the honey in a microwave until it becomes pourable before adding it to the corn mixture.
