Recipe View 10 mins Remove the smaller pan from the water bath and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter before creaming it with the masa harina. This adds a nutty richness to the cakes.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cornmeal. A stone-ground cornmeal will provide a more rustic texture.
If you don't have heavy cream, whole milk or half-and-half can be used as a substitute.
To make these ahead, bake them completely and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
A pinch of cayenne pepper can add a subtle warmth to these cakes, balancing the sweetness beautifully.
