Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Fresh corn kernels (about 5 ears of corn)
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or a 9x9-inch square pan with butter and dust lightly with flour.
In a blender, combine the fresh corn kernels, sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth but still has a slight texture from the corn.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the blender mixture, blending until well combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Torta De Elote with a hot cup of coffee or as a sweet treat after a meal.
