For a sweeter cake, increase the sugar to 3/4 cup. If you don't have corn flour, you can grind regular cornmeal in a food processor until it's a fine powder. Fresh corn kernels can be used in place of frozen; you will need approximately 2 ears of corn. Adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your taste. For a milder flavor, use 1/8 cup. Serve warm with a pat of butter or a dollop of sour cream.
