玉米蛋糕

Serves 6 

6人份

材料：

• 1 stick unsalted butter (about ½ cup)

1条无盐黄油（大约半杯）

• ½ cup sugar

半杯糖

• 2 eggs, whites separated

2只鸡蛋，蛋白分离

• 1 egg yolk

1只蛋黄

• 1 package cream cheese, at room temperature

1包奶油芝士，室温

• 2 cups fresh white corn

2杯新鲜白玉米

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

2茶匙发酵粉

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2汤匙中筋面粉

The texture of this cake is light and moist, and it has an intense corn flavor. The tiny amount of flour used (only two tablespoons) is enough to bind everything together, making a perfectly formed dessert.

这款蛋糕入口轻盈湿润，有一股很强的玉米味道。仅有的两汤匙面粉足够把所有的材料都粘合在一起，做成一个完美的甜片。

步骤：

1.   Have all the ingredients at room temperature before starting. Line the bottom of a 9-inch round baking pan with parchment paper.

在开始之前，让所有的材料都处于室温，在9英寸的圆形烤盘上铺上烘焙纸。

2.   Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

预热烤箱到190摄氏度。

3.   Beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the egg yolks one by one, then the cream cheese. Beat at high speed for 5 minutes.

打发黄油和糖，直到它们都变成奶油状。一个一个加入蛋黄，然后加入奶油芝士，高速下再打5分钟。

4.   Process the corn in a blender or food processor until very fine. Add to the butter mixture along with the baking powder and flour.

把玉米放在搅拌机里面，搅拌到非常细。加入黄油混合物、发酵粉和面粉。

5.   Meanwhile, beat the egg whites in the mixer at high speed, until soft peaks form. Fold very gently into the corn mixture, with a spatula.

同时，高速打发蛋白，直到柔软的小峰形成。用抹刀把蛋白小心叠入玉米混合物里面。

6.   Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 45 minutes or until the cake is lightly golden.

把面糊倒烤盘里，烤制45分钟，或者直到蛋糕轻微变金棕色。

7.   Remove the cake from the oven and cool on a rack.

把蛋糕拿出来，晾在冷却架上。
