Ingredients

Dry ingredients to mix first

2 cup cornmeal
½ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoons cinnamon powder

Rest of ingredients

1 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 egg (medium)
⅛ cup raisins (optional)
2 tablespoon salted butter at room temperature (plus extra for greasing the pan)

Instructions

1. Preheat

Preheat the oven to 300ºF (150ºC).

2. Mix

Mix cornmeal, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon.
Pour in milk and mix. Let it rest for an hour in the fridge (this is an optional step, but I have found it results in much nicer texture).

3. Preparing mold

Grease with butter a small non-stick mold (6 cups capacity).

4. Preparing the batter

Add the baking powder to the cornmeal mixture, followed by eggs, raisins and butter.
Mix all the ingredients by hand or mixer until all the ingredients have been incorporated (don't worry that the batter is on the runny side, it's okay). Pour the batter into the baking mold.

5. Bake

Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes or until you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean. Cool before removing from the pan.

6. Serve

Remove from the pan and serve at room temperature per suggestions above the recipe.
