Cornbread Pudding Cake (Tomalito)

"Yummy! This is very close to what you get at Chevy's or Chi-Chi's. This is like a very moist cornbread flecked with corn kernels. Comes together in a snap and makes a great side. Guaranteed kid pleaser! This dish should be served hot or warm, and reheats nicely in the microwave."

  1. I can't believe I am the first to rate this fabulous recipe. I have tried numerous "corn pudding" type recipes trying to find the perfect taste and texture. This is it! It tastes so much like the sweet corn casserole side dish that Chi Chi's has. This was cheap and easy to throw together as well--nothing complicated. I followed the recipe exactly--no alterations. I rarely give 5 stars--because I reserve that for recipes I truly think are out-of-this world--and this is one of them. I served this as one of my sides with ribs this evening, and I also think it will be great as a Mexican side dish. We will make this often--thank you for sharing such a great, easy recipe. Hopefully many more positive reviews will follow!
     
  2. Cooking in the microwave is so much easier. About 4 minutes, stir half way.
     
  3. This is definitely the easiest Tomalito recipe out there. Good flavor, but a little dry. Next time, I'll cover it in the oven. Thanks for posting!
     
  4. I made this tonight to go with Recipe #63786 and we really liked it! I used to love Don Pablo's sweet corn cakes and this was a lot like them. I cut the sugar back to 2 Tbsp, but it was still a little too sweet for my taste. I think next time I'll do 1/2 or 1 Tbsp sugar and see how my tastebuds fare. :) Otherwise, I followed the super-easy instructions to a T and it came out great! Thanks for sharing such a yummy, easy recipe!
     
  5. I've made this a couple times now and it turned out really well. I love it as a side with enchildas! Thanks!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in a beautiful seaside town in Massachusetts with my husband, 2 daughters and 2 cats. When not experimenting in the kitchen, I'm writing steampunk romance (Not sure what that is? Check out my website!). Recently agented, I hope to see my books in print soon. Can't wait! <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/454328/zaar%20photo.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> Amelia (2 y.o. here) enjoying a cider donut after apple picking. <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/454328/zaar%202.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> Maeve (4 y. o. here) I love cooking and can't resist trying to figure out what ingredients went into a good meal. I'm not really one for measuring, and usually just make things up as I go along. My brain tends to shut down at the sight of too many ingredients in a recipe (must be A.D.D. or something) so that's something I'm trying to work on. Most of my recipes are quick and easy to make, since I'm usually trying to get dinner out in a hurry. My family is Greek and my husband is Irish, but also lived in Spain for several years, so my cooking tends to reflect those cultures, but in general we're fairly adventurous. Feel free to zmail me!

Update: Just got a new camera, so hopefully my pictures will improve drastically. I had been using the camera on my cell. Needless to say the pics weren't great. I'll try retaking any that I've already posted. http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/CTDSites.woa
