Ingredients for making very creamy mush cake:

 5 ears of corn

 4 eggs

 180 unsalted butter at room temperature

 1 can of condensed milk

 3 tablespoons of sugar

 1 tablespoon of chemical yeast

 1 pinch of salt

 1 pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence (optional)

 1 cup unleavened wheat flour

How to make a very creamy mush cake:

Remove the straw from the corn cobs and separate the corn kernels with the help of a coarse grater or sharp knife to about 3 cups or 430 grams. If you prefer, you can prepare this muffin cake recipe with tin corn, draining well, in order to obtain the indicated amount.

Tip: Prefer to use corn cobs that are not too ripe or too hard.

Beat corn kernels with condensed milk for about 30 minutes, in a blender, food processor or with a hand mixer. The final texture should be thick and consistent. Reserve.

Sift the flour, salt, yeast and cinnamon into a bowl and mix well. Reserve.

Separately, beat the butter with a whisk or in an electric mixer for about 1 minute or until fluffy.

Tip: Remember that the butter must be at room temperature, that is, neither too hard nor melting.

Add the sugar to the butter and beat for another 1 minute or until the sugar granules are fine. By doing this we were able to incorporate air into the dough, which will help to obtain a more grown and fluffy mush cake.

Tip: This mush cake recipe is not very sweet so if you want you can add a few more tablespoons of sugar.

Add the eggs, one at a time, and continue beating until well incorporated into the sugared butter. Do this for about 5 minutes.

Gradually add the blender mixture (corn with condensed milk) and mix to incorporate all these ingredients very well.

Then add the sifted dry ingredients and, if you like, the vanilla essence as well. Mix or beat until well incorporated and break up lumps.

Tip: If you prefer, you can sift the dry ingredients directly into this mixture, however it is worth sifting twice to incorporate more air into the dough.

Finally, grease and flour a cake tin and pour the previous mush cake preparation into it. Cover with aluminum foil and place in a pot with hot water up to 3/4 of its capacity - if in doubt, check out how to make a double boiler on the stove. Simmer on medium heat for 50 minutes or until your cake is firm enough to pass the toothpick test.

After that time, just remove the pan from inside the pan and let it cool completely before serving. The ideal is to unmold this creamy mush cake when it's at room temperature and then store it in the fridge for 1-2 hours, so that it can be served well chilled.
