1. Preheat the oven to 350*. Prepare a cast iron skillet by greasing lightly.
2. Add the butter, sugar, and eggs to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until well combined.
3. In a second bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and garlic powder using a spoon.
4. Add the flour mixture and cornmeal to the stand mixer’s bowl. Add the water and mix well. Stop the mixer at least once to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
5. Add the corn kernels, sharp cheddar, and green chilies to the bowl and mix gently.
6. Pour batter into prepared skillet and bake at 350* for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the surface of the bread is lightly browned. Cool for ten minutes before cutting.
