Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cream-style corn, whole kernel corn (juice and all), sugar, eggs, melted butter, and heavy cream.
Add the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, ensuring everything is well combined.
Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared casserole dish. Bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden and the center is set. (A toothpick inserted should come out clean!)
Cool and Serve: Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. It’s fantastic on its own but pairs beautifully with roasted meats or as a side for BBQs and potlucks.
