Start by preheating the oven to 350F while you prepare your mochi cornbread batter.
Add all liquid ingredients to a blender and blend until completely smooth and no clumps remain. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients except for the corn. Add the liquid mixture and stir to combine.
Line your baking dish with parchment paper or grease liberally, then transfer the batter into the dish. It may need to be gently pat down into the dish evenly with a spatula.
If desired, top with fresh corn kernels before baking. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Slice and enjoy!
