• In a large bowl, whisk together the sweet corn, cream-style corn, half-and-half, flour, maple syrup, chile flakes, garlic and scallions. Season with a nice pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Taste and season more if needed. Whisk in the Cheddar, mozzarella and eggs. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

Pour into greased, 8-inch-square baking pan, and cover with foil.
• Method 1: Bake in 350-degree oven 40 to 50 minutes or until corn cake has a firm texture.
• Method 2: Place corn cake pan in a larger pan and pour boiling water half way up corn cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees 40 to 50 minutes, checking water level and adding more boiling water, if necessary. When cooked through, remove corn cake pan from water.
• Let cooked cake stand at room temperature for few minutes before cutting into squares or using a small ice cream scoop to serve.
• Store any leftovers in refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a big mixing bowl, sift the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
• Add in the corn kernels; toss to coat.
• In a smaller bowl, add the buttermilk, eggs, and butter; whisk until blended.
• Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients; stir until just blended (don't overmix).
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
• Brush a thin film of vegetable oil or spray with cooking spray.
• Pour 1/4 cup batter (for each pancake) onto heated skillet; lower heat to medium-low.
• Cook until the tops of cakes are covered with small bubbles and the bottoms are lightly browned; flip pancake and cook until other side is lightly browned.
• Serve warm with maple syrup or powdered sugar and berries.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottom of each with parchment.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the milk, vanilla, eggs and egg yolk together in another medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add about a third of the flour mixture and beat on medium-low until incorporated. Now add a third of the egg-milk mixture and continue to beat on medium-low until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Repeat with another third of the flour, then all of the egg-milk mixture and finishing with the flour.
• Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake until the cake has a nice golden brown crust around the edge, bounces back when pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely in the cake pans on a rack.
• For the frosting: Combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, milk and vanilla in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until all the sugar is blended into the butter. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Remove 3 tablespoons frosting and place it in a small bowl; leave this frosting plain. Remove another 3/4 cup frosting, place in another bowl and dye with the orange food coloring. Dye the remaining 3 3/4 cups frosting in the mixing bowl with the yellow food coloring. Fill a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip with the yellow frosting. Fill a second piping bag fitted with a tip with the orange frosting.
• Assemble the cake: Cut a 4-inch circle out of the center of one cake layer (reserve or discard the cut-out cake). Put the cake ring on a spinning cake stand or serving platter and frost the top with about 1/2 cup of the yellow frosting. Fill the hole with the candy corn. Put the other cake layer on top, so that the rounded side of the cake is facing up; push down gently to sandwich the two cake layers together.
• Pipe a ring of yellow frosting along the outside edge of the cake. Pipe a second ring just inside it so they are touching. Pipe the remaining yellow frosting onto the sides of the cake, making sure to connect it to the frosting ring on the top of the cake. Using a large offset spatula, flatten the icing on the side of the cake to frost the outside until smooth.
• Pipe 3 concentric touching rings of orange frosting just inside the yellow rings. Spoon the reserved white frosting on the center of the cake and spread it flat so that it touches the orange frosting.
• Position the tip of a large offset spatula in the center of the cake so the length of the blade looks like a radius and touches the top of all three frostings. Using one continuous, circular motion with gentle pressure (using a spinning cake stand will help), spread the frostings flat on the top of the cake so they form stripes (some of the frosting will come off with the spatula; do not try to reapply it). Let the cake stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Add 2 cups of the corn to a food processor and puree. Combine the pureed corn with the softened butter, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
• Stir in the masa harina, and flour, and mix until blended. Fold in the remaining corn kernels.
• In a large cast iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Drop 1/2 cup portions of the batter into the hot skillet forming patties. Cook until the cakes are golden brown on one side, and flip over. Continue cooking until the cakes are cooked through and golden brown on both sides.
• Serve the corn cakes as they are, or adorned with shredded cabbage, tomatillo guacamole, sour cream, and mango salsa.
• To make guacamole:
• Combine the tomatillos, cilantro, avocado, onion, jalapeno, garlic, lime juice, cumin, and salt in a food processor or blender and pulse until combined.
• To make salsa:
• Combine the mango, tomatoes, minced onion, cilantro, chile, lime zest, and lime juice in a small bowl. Allow the flavors to macerate. Serve as a garnish for the cumin seared scallop tacos.
• Corn Cake Variations:
• Bacon Corn Cakes: Add 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon to the batter just before cooking.
