Ingredients

• 3 cups Fresh corn kernels
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Artificial sweetener (such as stevia)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a small amount of unsalted butter or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the fresh corn kernels in a food processor and pulse until finely ground but not completely pureed.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave, then let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, add the ground corn, eggs, melted butter, almond flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and the chosen artificial sweetener.

Step 5

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined and you have a smooth batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, slice the Pastel de Elote into wedges and serve. Enjoy this sugar-free delicacy with a cup of coffee or tea.
