Corn cake is a versatile dish that originates from Latin American cuisine, though variations are enjoyed globally. Made primarily from cornmeal or ground corn, it often includes ingredients like eggs, milk, butter, and sugar, giving it a soft, dense texture and mildly sweet flavor. Some versions incorporate cheese, spices, or fresh corn kernels for added depth. Corn cake is a good source of carbohydrates and dietary fiber from the corn, and provides essential nutrients like vitamin B6, magnesium, and iron. However, its healthfulness depends on preparation; recipes high in added sugar and fats may increase calorie content and reduce its nutritional value. Opting for whole-grain cornmeal and limiting sugars and fats can make it a more wholesome choice. Corn cake is enjoyed as a dessert, snack, or a savory side, showcasing its adaptability across different cuisines and occasions.
