In another bowl, whisk together room temperature sour cream, whole milk, vegetable oil, and 2 eggs until combined.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Fold in roasted corn kernels, crumbled queso fresco, chopped cilantro, and garlic using a spatula.

Prepare an 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch loaf pan by spraying it with baking spray and lining it with parchment paper.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 40 to 50 minutes, covering with foil for the last 10 minutes if needed.

Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before using the parchment to remove it from the pan.
