I have an admission. I am terrible at online food shopping. In the past I have ordered 5 bags of courgettes when I meant to order 5 courgettes. I have bought 4 kilos of carrots when I wanted 4 carrots. I am still working through the 25 onions I bought a few weeks ago! This week’s mistake was ordering a few tins of creamed style corn instead of my usual sweetcorn kernels. When I make these mistakes my immediate thought is “what can I make using 4,000 peppers / courgettes/ tins of creamed corn (delete as appropriate)”. And this is how my sweetcorn cake was born! As a made up dish it turned out really well and Little Lady had some for lunch with some vegetables and it’s also a great snack too. I hope you enjoy! 

1 can of creamed corn (mine was 400g)

200 g self raising flour

150 g grated cheese

1 egg

Mix all the ingredients together and spoon into a well greased cake tin (mine was a spring form one).

Bake in the oven on 190 degrees C for 30 minutes or until a knife comes out clean (ish).

Leave to cool for a few minutes in the tin then turn out onto a wire rack to cool some more.

Cut into slices and serve as a meal or a snack.

Can be frozen wrapped individually in cling film or kept in a tupperware box for a couple of days in the fridge.

You can also add any grated or chopped up veg to this if you wanted and you could leave the cheese out too.
