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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the blender mixture, blending until well combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

If desired, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 9

Slice and enjoy your Torta De Elote with a hot cup of coffee or as a sweet treat after a meal.
