Method

    1. For the sweetcorn loaf, preheat oven to 180°C. Line a loaf tin with baking paper.
    2. Place half the corn in a food processor and blend until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the remaining corn.
    3. Mix in the remaining ingredients until combined.
    4. Spoon batter into the prepared tin and bake for 45 minutes until golden.
    5. For the biltong cream cheese, mix together the ingredients and serve with the loaf.

     

Quick tip:

Convert this loaf into lunch-box muffins by spooning the mixture into a greased muffin tray and baking for about 20 minutes.
