Mexican culture is full of vibrant colors, which can be seen in fabrics, art, ceramics, architecture, and, of course, the Mexican cousin. The colors of the ingredients serve various functions; like the many sorts of maize. Blue corn can be used to make ‘tlacoyos,’ white corn for ‘tamales,’ red corn for ‘atole,’ and yellow corn is for ‘Pastel de Elote.’ Yellow corn is the sweetest, and this delicacy is a family favorite I learned to make with my mother. She showed me how to separate the grains from the raw cob, smash them in the molcajete and combine them with the other ingredients. This cake taste to the “sobremesa,” is the word for the conversation after dinner; you stay at the table between the main dish and the upcoming dessert. Pastel de elote reminds me of Sunday family gatherings and the rich sweet taste of the yellow corn in the fluffy cake. Hope you can try it.

Ekstra info
I adapted the recipe with the ingredients you can get here, like the canned corn, rinse and partially dry it to get rid of the damp execs. For a more pronounced corn flavor, mix the grains from the raw cob with the rest of the ingredients. It's more physically demanding work but worth it for the ultimate strong flavor.
An extra tip for faster baking is to serve the mixture in a baking muffin trade and bake them for 12 to 14 minutes; you will end up with individual servings.
