Good hot or cold! This corn casserole side dish is a cross between corn bread and pudding. It's moist and sweet and similar in texture to a spoon bread. I prefer this to traditional corn pudding as it is a bit firmer so you can slice it and it holds up well for a buffet supper. Another favorite way to enjoy it is to caramelize whole seeded plum tomatoes in a little bacon fat and serve those on top of a wedge of the corn pudding bread with a little bacon on the side.
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Butter a 9-inch iron skillet or a 7-by-11-inch baking dish.
Whisk together the cornmeal, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
Pulse the buttermilk, cream, eggs, and melted butter in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Add the corn and pulse a few more times (the mixture should be lumpy with visible kernels).
Whisk the buttermilk mixture into cornmeal mixture.
Pour into a prepared skillet or baking dish.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center remains slightly jiggly.
Transfer to a rack to cool.
Serve warm or room temperature.
