Absolute Best Mexican Cornbread

I am a closet foodie. There I said it. You would'nt know by the frequency of meals I prepare for my family. But when I do I want it to be gourmet . Why waste the calories if it isnt fabulous. otherwise i can just have a diet coke and a candy bar. This recipe is the best cornbread ever. It is cake like and almost like Grandma Rose's Green corn tamales.

1 cup of butter
1 cup white sugar
4 eggs
1(15 ounce) can cream corn
1/2 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers, drained
1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

1.preheat oven to 300 degrees lightly grease 9x13 baking dish
2. large bowl beat together butter and sugar. beat in eggs one at a time. blend in cream corn, chiles, monterey jack and cheddar cheese.
3. in a separate bowl, stir together flour , cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. add flour mixture to corn mixture; stir until smooth. pour batter into prepared pan.
4. bake in oven 1 hour. until toothpick inserted into center of the pan comes out clean.
