Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 20cm square cake pan and place in oven to heat up. Place flour, polenta, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Make a well in the centre. Add the corn, coriander, buttermilk, maple syrup, eggs and chilli, if using, and whisk to combine. Gently fold in butter until just combined (don’t overmix).

  2. Step 2

    Carefully pour batter into preheated cake pan (the batter will sizzle). Spoon sweet chilli sauce over top and swirl with a skewer to marble. Bake for 30 mins or until a clean skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.

  3. Step 3

    Cool for 15 mins before turning onto a board. Cut into pieces. Serve warm.
