Method
- Grate or blend the corn kernels until pulpy but not completely smooth.
- Mix corn pulp with coconut milk, sugar, melted butter, salt, and just enough cornstarch or rice flour to make a thick batter.
- Spoon portions of the batter into clean corn husks.
- Fold the husks into neat packets and tie or tuck the ends to secure.
- Arrange in a steamer and steam for 25–30 minutes until set.
- Cool slightly before unwrapping; the cake should be moist, tender, and distinctly corny.
