Blackberry And Sweet Corn Pilsner Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 10-inch ovenproof skillet with the butter.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vanilla bean paste and eggs. In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, maple sugar, baking soda and salt. Stir in the buttermilk mixture until smooth.
• Line the blackberries in the buttered skillet, then pour the batter over the top. Pour the cream into the center of the batter. Bake until the top crust is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Serve warm with blackberries, maple syrup and whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter; pour over flour mixture, whisking to combine.
• In a 10-inch skillet (preferably cast-iron), heat remaining tablespoon butter in the oven until melted and skillet is hot, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven; swirl to coat bottom of pan. Pour batter into skillet; scatter blackberries on top, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
• Bake, with a baking sheet on rack below (to catch any drips), until top is evenly browned, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edge to loosen; cut into 8 wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup blackberries, 1/2 cup orange juice, and 1/4 cup honey in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until blackberries break down into a sauce, about 10 minutes.
• Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
• Hold corn ear upright on a cutting board; slice kernels off the cob carefully with a knife. Transfer corn kernels to a bowl. Run the flat side of the knife along the cob to extract corn milk; pour into the bowl. Mix in buttermilk, eggs, 3 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons melted butter, and jalapeno peppers.
• Mix corn-buttermilk mixture into flour mixture. Fold in 1/2 cup sliced blackberries, orange zest, and thyme.
• Pour blackberry sauce into a bowl through a fine-mesh strainer. Pour sauce back into the saucepan. Discard solids.
• Mix 2 tablespoons orange juice and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Stir a few drops of the blackberry sauce into the cornstarch mixture. Pour cornstarch mixture into the saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes.
• Whip 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon honey together to make honey butter.
• Melt 1 teaspoon butter on a griddle over medium-high heat. Drop 1/4 cup corn cake batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Top warm corn cakes with a some honey butter and a drizzle blackberry syrup.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees and grease the inside of a 9-by-9-inch square casserole dish with butter.
• In a medium bowl, toss the mashed blackberries with ⅔ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup flour, the lemon juice and ¼ teaspoon salt. Taste and add additional sugar, if necessary. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish in an even layer and set aside.
• Using a box grater, grate the corn over a bowl to collect its meat and milk; discard the corn cobs or reserve for another use. Transfer corn mixture to a liquid measuring cup. (The grated corn mixture should measure a healthy ¾ cup; if not, supplement with extra corn, heavy cream or milk.) Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1¼ cups flour, ⅓ cup granulated sugar with the cornmeal, baking powder and ¾ teaspoon salt. Add the cubed butter, separating the cubes and tossing them individually to coat. Pressing the bits of butter between your thumb and the side of your index finger, break up the butter into the flour until evenly dispersed and butter pieces are roughly the size of peas.
• Slowly pour the grated corn over the flour mixture, and, working gently with your hands, begin tossing everything together until the ingredients form a cohesive dough. Crumble the batter over the surface of the berries, and using a pastry brush, brush the top generously with the heavy cream. Sprinkle the batter evenly with the turbinado sugar.
• Place the baking dish on a sheet pan to catch any potential overflow, transfer to the oven and bake until the crust is golden and the blackberries are bubbling and thick, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), with a rack in the middle. Lightly grease eighteen 4-ounce ramekins, muffin cups (see Chef's Notes), or free-standing baking cups (see Chef's Notes) and place on two baking sheets.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, polenta, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• In another medium bowl, whisk the butter, honey, eggs, and buttermilk to combine. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until well combined. Fold in the corn.
• Scoop the batter into the prepared ramekins or muffin cups, filling each just over three-quarters full.
• Bake the cakes (on the baking sheets) until they are golden at the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then unmold.
• Serve the cakes warm or at room temperature, with a dollop of creme fraiche and a drizzle of honey.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with baking papers and set aside.
• 2. Stir flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl using a whisk. Set aside. Whisk eggs, buttermilk, butter, and vanilla together in a medium bowl. Fold egg mixture into dry ingredients using a rubber spatula, mixing just until batter forms but remains slightly lumpy. Fold in blackberries.
• 3. Divide batter among muffin cups, sprinkle with sugar, and bake on top shelf of oven until muffins are golden and a wooden toothpick inserted in center tests clean, about 20 minutes. Release muffins from tin and transfer to a cooling rack; serve warm.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper but leave the sides unlined and ungreased.
• Set aside 2 tablespoons of the sugar for later (to stiffen the egg whites).
• Add the remaining sugar to a large mixing bowl with egg yolks, oil, corn flour, rice flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 cup water. Whisk to blend thoroughly. Set aside for 15 minutes to hydrate the corn flour while the oven is heating.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar and beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is creamy white and holds a soft shape. Slowly sprinkle in the reserved 2 tablespoons sugar, beating at high speed until the egg whites are stiff but not dry. Scrape half of the egg whites onto the corn batter and fold until partially blended. Add the remaining egg whites and fold just until the batter looks blended. Scrape the batter into the pan and spread it evenly.
• Bake until the top of the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Set the pan on a cooling rack. Immediately, while the cake is still hot, slide a thin knife or spatula around the sides, pressing against the pan to avoid tearing the cake. Leave the cake in the pan to cool-it will settle at a bit and pull away from the edges of the pan.
• When cool, carefully invert the cake onto a cutting board. Cut the cake into 8 even rectangles, about 2x4-inches each.
• In a medium bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cup of the blackberries with the and lemon juice. Let stand 30 minutes, then stir and mash with the back of a spoon to break up the berries. When ready to serve, stir in remaining 1/2 cup fresh blackberries.
• Meanwhile, pour heavy cream into the chilled bowl of stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high until soft peaks form. Turn speed to low and gently whisk in sour cream, salt, and sugar. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To serve, slice each rectangle in half horizontally. Top the bottom half with a spoonful (about 3 tablespoons) of blackberries and their sauce, and then garnish with a generous dollop of whipped cream and place the top half of the cake on top. Repeat to form remaining servings.
