Directions:
- *Noteon Masa: You can buy prepared masa dough at most Mexican and specialty food markets.
- Or you can readily purchase Masa Harina (made by Quaker Oats) which is dried corn that has been ground and treated.
- It is the basic ingredient used in making tamale dough (also called masa).
- Soak corn husks in hot water for 30 minutes until pliable.
- Drain.
- Place vegetable shortening and butter in a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until mixture becomes fluffy and creamy.
- Add masa and mix on low speed for about 2 minutes.
- Add water and mix well on medium speed.
- Grind the corn coarsely in a food processor.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the corn meal, sugar, whipping cream, baking powder and salt.
- Add the masa mixture and the ground corn and mix well.
- To steam the corn cake, line the steamer basket with the softened corn husks.
- Fill with corn cake batter.
- Cover with more corn husks and a tea towel to absorb moisture.
- Steam on the stove for about 2 1/2 hours.
- Batter should not stick to husks when corn cake is done.
- If it does, it needs to steam longer.
- **Noteon steamers: You can also improvise a steamer by placing a rack on cans in a large stockpot or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid.
