Thank you for sharing. I remember when i went to chevy's they served this with my dish i had no idea what it was but it was sooooo good now i know thank you i will be making this for my family
I just made this for my Mom, who I love and don't see often enough. Thank you Chef Chris for your awesome video and, I'm sure, the smile you'll of given her.
This is served at El Pollo Loco and El Torito here in Cali. I have always wanted to make it myself and I came across your video. I made it yesterday and my family loved it! My daughter said it was the best thing she ever ate lol. Thank you so much for posting your video. Definitely gonna make this again.
OMG...sending my partner to the store for cans of corn RIGHT NOW! I got everything else. I love this so much I can eat it as a meal. I have to beg Chevys to bring me extra, because they don't understand my NEED for this! I CAN'T WAAAIIIIT! Making Tamales and Mexican rice too.
Just went to the restaurant you mentioned in the video. And although all the food was amazing, the corn cake was unlike anything I had before. Looking forward to trying this recipe soon! Thanks
Chef Chris you are the man! Ever since I left Southern California and haven't been able to go to El Torito I've longed for the mexican desert side dish. I just made it using your recipe and it brought back memories. Not to mention it tasted amazing! A job well done posting this video. THANKS!
First time I had corn cake was at El Torito Grill that was so good I didn’t think of using TH-cam to find the recipe until I find you going to make it for sure
This is a miracle!!!👏🏼👏🏼 I have been looking for this recipe for years!!!🤷🏻♀️ I have searched so many recipes high and low thinking it was (cornbread) it's not it's (sweet corn cake) got it! 👍🏻👍🏻😋😁
Just made this recipe, it's good as hell! The consistency of the masa at the beginning looked off (butter wasn't super soft) but came out great in the end. Thanks!
I've been to Garduno's several times though I moved away from the Burque in 1979. My family still lives there and I love visiting. I don't remember you having the corn pudding but now feel that Chevy's has more cred for theirs since they serve it. And yeah, amazing with spicy food. Gotta try this myself now.
I just want to thank you for this. I have made it every year for the past 3 years for Christmas and everyone loves it. There are never any left overs. I also make with my home made chili!
I used to work at gardunios and this was just like it but i remembered it tasted like honey not sugar.. but exactly what i was looking for thanks for the recipe
Chef Chris!!💓💓 Please tell us what kind of Cornmeal you used in this!! They ate So many different kinds!! Can your use the Jiffy?? Thanks So Much!! 🙌🙌💓😋
Have you ever tried it with creamed corn instead of whole corn? Also, it kinda reminds me of a corn tamale, which seems like more work, but this recipe might be good, thanks
Mine came out too crumbly. Mixing the dry ingredients did not look like in the video, wasn’t liquidy like that? Also, that doesn’t look like a 8x8 pan?
Is there a difference between using butter or margarine for this? I found this video after I googled recipe and it said use margarine so that’s what I bought
I’ve tried this recipe twice and mine just isn’t coming out like this. The taste is there but the texture is dry and crumbly and not moist. I’m following each step precisely idk what I’m doing wrong 😭
I felt the same way. I think we need to put less polenta/cornmeal in the recipe. His recipe says 1/4 cup of cornmeal but I think it’s way too much. Next time im adding 3 tablespoons of cornmeal’s and a bit of honey on top when it’s finished . I think it will turn out better
Armando Piña i use canned corn so yes I would recommend room temp, the cream not so much. Don’t worry about that, but I thaw the corn if you use frozen.
It took longer for me about 30 minutes longer and I definitely use boiling water in the water bake.I have made this every Christmas for the past 3 years and it’s always a hit
He says: *"LOAF PAN~ the kind you use to make bread."* but then adds: *"As long as it is 8"x8."* Well, in MY neck of the woods an 8x8 pan is a BROWNIE PAN. It's square. Nothing like a loaf pan at all. So.....what pan did you guys who tried this recipe use?
Pakeezah sure. Now I make it for my soup truck and I don’t use cream at all. I just add a bit of the corn juice from the can to incorporate the dry ingredients.
My favorite Mexican restaurant added a scoop of this to all their entrees. It was a dark day when the owners retired fired all their employees without warning and became some trendy bar/restaurant with overpriced tequila shots. I just found a really good stove top steamed chocolate cake. I wonder if I can use the same process to cook this.
I made this corn cake. The flavor was wonderful, but, I didn't 'cake' like I thought. I tripled checked my ingredient list. Most of the corn cakes had eggs in it. What do you think went wrong?
Wait--masa harina is NOT just corn flour. It has lime (calcium hydroxide) added--the typical way dried corn has been prepared for centuries in Central & South America. It has a distinctive flavor, and is actually more nutritious! www.cooksinfo.com/lime-chemical. Masa harina can be made from yellow corn, not just white.
Lotus Koi hello... because it actually does not slice like a corn bread or cake. It’s a very mushy consistency. I use a ice cream scooper to scoop it out of the dish. Make it and youlle see. Haha
Go to Kroger, go to the salsa isle and buy a Chi-Chi's sweet corn cake mix and follow the instructions. I found it on the top shelf of the Chi-Chi's products.
I think it’s a bit of a thing from the Inited states . I had it at one Mexican restaurant and it still wasn’t the same as some of these Mexican American restaurants in United States
I think the measurement of the list are wrong. The consistecy of the dry ingridients with the heavy cream is not right i had it to add a more heavy cream to get the consistency thar is show on the video.
I was about to downvote this video and comment on how difficult is to make this cake using the fresh American corn, which is WAY different from the Mexican corn then I saw the comments from all the ladies hapilly commenting on how excited they are about cake corn using canned corn. LOL my apologies, I promise to keep my mouth shut, I guess it's hard to live between the two major cuisines in the world, American and Mexican, hugs.
I made this today & it tasted exactly like the 1 they sell at Chevys. This is hands down the best and I won't be looking any further. Thanks Chef
This comment is so respectful and convincing. Thanks Christ
My goodness...you don't know how long I've been looking for a recipe like this for Thanksgiving! Thank you, looks fantabulous

Thank you so much for this recipe Chris. I tried so many corn cake recipes and this is the best!
Went to Gardunios today and had this. Immediately had to look up how to make it lol. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for sharing! I've been doing this recipe for the holidays for the past 3 years, and everyone loves it!😁

My first experience eating a corn cake was at El Torito, too! It was so good!

Hi Chef Chris, i made this today. Marvelous!!!!
Definitely delicious I have to try it
This is really good! Thank you for the recipe!!
Looks great 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great video. I've tried 3 different TH-cam videos of the El Torito's Corn Cake, and yours is by far the best :-)
Wonderful! Had your corn cake for the 1st time and went to the boardwalk for the 1st time and it was great.
Golden Corral had this and I ate almost half the tray, bet this recipe is better, thanks!
I've been to Garduno's several times though I moved away from the Burque in 1979. My family still lives there and I love visiting. I don't remember you having the corn pudding but now feel that Chevy's has more cred for theirs since they serve it. And yeah, amazing with spicy food. Gotta try this myself now.
Definitely a fav of mine!
I just want to thank you for this. I have made it every year for the past 3 years for Christmas and everyone loves it. There are never any left overs. I also make with my home made chili!
This is a delicious Mexican dish a must try’s people !!
Cooked this. It was Excellent! Smooth as soft cake :-)
Made this Wednesday night. Awesome!!!!!!
I used to work at gardunios and this was just like it but i remembered it tasted like honey not sugar.. but exactly what i was looking for thanks for the recipe
Hmm... It may have been. It's been sooo long since I worked there. But I remembered the main ingredients. Maybe I'll try it with honey next time.
If anyone’s tried with honey vs sugar let me know
And if so how much honey
My mom made ur kind and it is yummy
Well good and I'm glad. Yeah it's a great treat to any meal.
that's awesome..exactly what I was looking for - gracias
This was amazing thank you
Okay so I made it and it came out pretty good.🎉
Chef Chris!!💓💓
Please tell us what kind of Cornmeal you used in this!! They ate So many different kinds!! Can your use the Jiffy??
Thanks So Much!! 🙌🙌💓😋
woukd like that with chili on top on a cold day.
How does it taste compared to gardinos I love it there it’s a must have with the chicken burritos every time I’m in Albuquerque!
I really hope it come out good. Wish me luck
Thank you for sharing
that looks like the little side that comes with your food at chevy'
s it tastes so good, is that the same thing does anyone know ?
Thank you 4 the share and post! thumbs up.
Good to learn 👍
cookyy NT give it a try. I’m bringing it back to my soup truck. My guests use to love it!
I like you’re corn tamal recipe thanks know if you can please send me your recipe for pork red tamales thank you
Have you ever tried it with creamed corn instead of whole corn? Also, it kinda reminds me of a corn tamale, which seems like more work, but this recipe might be good, thanks
justYouJesus1God I would not go with creamed corn. It will come out WAY to mushy.
Christopher Cabral just made that mistake right now should’ve read the comments first 😩
Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I don’t have in hand corn meal but I have maïzena can I use it ? Or won’t be the same?
So basically double the ingredients for a bigger pan?
Made this and it's delicious but way too much butter for me. I'll try it again but with less butter. Thanx for sharing this
I wondered if I can steam it in corn husk like tamales?
"Dominated! Corn cakes :)" -Engineer
Mine came out too crumbly. Mixing the dry ingredients did not look like in the video, wasn’t liquidy like that? Also, that doesn’t look like a 8x8 pan?
Best
Is there a difference between using butter or margarine for this? I found this video after I googled recipe and it said use margarine so that’s what I bought
Any way around that bath? I cant physically do that...
Can I use corn bread instead?
I’ve tried this recipe twice and mine just isn’t coming out like this. The taste is there but the texture is dry and crumbly and not moist. I’m following each step precisely idk what I’m doing wrong 😭
I felt the same way. I think we need to put less polenta/cornmeal in the recipe. His recipe says 1/4 cup of cornmeal but I think it’s way too much. Next time im adding 3 tablespoons of cornmeal’s and a bit of honey on top when it’s finished . I think it will turn out better
Corn flour like maseca you mean?
Yep
maza harina yellow mazeca
If I follow this recipe, but double every ingredient, because I want double the amount. Should I double the amount of time too??
does corn and cream have to be at room temperature??
i am using frozen corn. its thawed out but cold.
Armando Piña i use canned corn so yes I would recommend room temp, the cream not so much. Don’t worry about that, but I thaw the corn if you use frozen.
What kind of cream?
Francisco Arroyo Whipping or heavy cream from the dairy section of your grocery store.
Is this served cold or Hot or both ?? Tha you
How many servings does this recipe make ??
Can i make this in tamale leaves? If so..how long do you think it’ll be before it’s done cooking?
If you double the ingredients, will it need more time in the oven?
Gina Mendoza if you bake it in 2 separate baking dishes then no. 😁
Kaiand Kel thank you so much! It really didn't come out right when I doubled and baked for the same amount of time. Thanks for the advice!!!
It took longer for me about 30 minutes longer and I definitely use boiling water in the water bake.I have made this every Christmas for the past 3 years and it’s always a hit
Salted or unsalted butter?
Roc Bottom either one is fine. I use unsalted because it’s more of a sweet side dish.
He says: *"LOAF PAN~ the kind you use to make bread."* but then adds: *"As long as it is 8"x8."*
Well, in MY neck of the woods an 8x8 pan is a BROWNIE PAN. It's square. Nothing like a loaf pan at all.
So.....what pan did you guys who tried this recipe use?
Can u use only masa harina or only corn meal?
About how many people would u say this serves??
Yeny Ceja. one silly. lol
A lot... haha it’s a side complimentary dish to most Mecican foods. Just a nice scoop along with enchiladas or rellenos is perfect.
CUAL ES LA MASA HARINAAAAA???????
How many servings is this like 8?
wendyalvarado07 definitely 8. Maybe more. Make it and you decide! Haha
Making it now :D
Searching for cheese cake reciep
Mouche Tubman I have a few amazing ones with great tips on how to bake it. Try the peanut butter cheesecake one.
instead of whipping cream can I use coconut cream?
Pakeezah sure. Now I make it for my soup truck and I don’t use cream at all. I just add a bit of the corn juice from the can to incorporate the dry ingredients.
What is that masa harina
Corn flour.
What is masa hernia ??
R. A
It's NOT hernia, but HARINA, and it's flour; masa harina is corn flour.
@@skinnydee1886 Thanx ..
@@r.a.8503
U r welcome!
My favorite Mexican restaurant added a scoop of this to all their entrees. It was a dark day when the owners retired fired all their employees without warning and became some trendy bar/restaurant with overpriced tequila shots.
I just found a really good stove top steamed chocolate cake. I wonder if I can use the same process to cook this.

Mexicans Got It Right With Cooking
Why didn't you slice and place it on a plate instead of putting it in ramekin? It just doesn't look right. The cake looks good though.
Lotus Koi hello... because it actually does not slice like a corn bread or cake. It’s a very mushy consistency. I use a ice cream scooper to scoop it out of the dish. Make it and youlle see. Haha

I've asked 20 mexicans and all 20 said they don't know what this is..hummm
I think it’s a bit of a thing from the Inited states . I had it at one Mexican restaurant and it still wasn’t the same as some of these Mexican American restaurants in United States
Okay, alright.
I think the measurement of the list are wrong. The consistecy of the dry ingridients with the heavy cream is not right i had it to add a more heavy cream to get the consistency thar is show on the video.
There was a black speck in that corn cake.
The best part😂
Measuring
I put whiped cream instead of sour cream😭

Totally off on measurements! 1/4 of a cup of cornmeal is too much...
its corny :)lol im making it
I don't like the way this looks, it's too moist, kinda like the way that you sound.
Fists pounding on the table GOOD!
I didn't know that baking soda recipe.thanks.your making cooking interesting
