Time 1h10m

Yield cuts into 8-10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

50g slightly salted butter , melted, plus extra for greasing
250g fine polenta or cornmeal, plus extra for dusting
325g can sweetcorn , drained
250ml buttermilk
4 large eggs
1 tbsp golden caster sugar
100g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and brush a 900g loaf tin with melted butter, then dust it with polenta and shake out the excess. Tip 175g of the sweetcorn into a food processor with the remaining ingredients and 1 tsp salt. Blend until smooth, then remove the blade and stir through most of the remaining sweetcorn.
  • Pour the batter into the tin, scatter over the last of the sweetcorn and bake for 45-50 mins until risen and golden. Insert a skewer into the centre - it should come out with a few moist crumbs, but the mixture should not be wet. Return to the oven for a further 5-10 mins if necessary, then test again.
  • Cool the loaf in its tin for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Will keep, wrapped in cling film, for up to 3 days, or freeze in slices for up to 2 months.
