Had some sweet corn in the freezer which needed using so blitzed it in the food processor instead of using canned. Also substituted plain yoghurt for the cream in the icing. Served it as muffins for a coffee morning and proved very popular, a new favourite in our house. - 19 Jul 2017
Awesome. I didnt use any of the spices...just the base recipe. It was wonderful, moist, delish. - 14 Mar 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
A very odd cake, but tasty enough. This one gets 4 stars from me because I just didn't care for the bits of corn that got stuck in my teeth. I did substitute butter for the oil and skipped the raisins and nuts. I made this for a corn festival, but probably won't make it again. The icing, however, is wonderful and I will use that part of the recipe again! - 10 Mar 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
