Preparation

Step 1

Place rack in the middle of oven and heat to 360 degrees. Butter a 9×12-inch pan.

Beat the butter with the sugar until creamy. Slowly add 8 egg yolks, one by one, until incorporated. Add the cream, rice flour and baking powder.

In a blender, process the milk with the corn kernels, then, incorporate it into the mix above. Place the mixture in a big mixing bowl.

Separately, beat the egg whites with salt until stiff peaks are formed. Add 1/5 of the egg whites to the butter/corn mix and blend carefully. Slowly blend the rest of the egg whites until everything is mixed, it is ok if the mixture looks streaky, don’t over work it or it will lose volume. Pour onto baking dish.

I’m always looking for gluten free recipes. My daughter and granddaughters have a wheat intolerance. This recipe is perfect to try. Thank you.

Thank you Sylvia, I came across your show last week and I love it. This Corn Torte is perfect for me, having a wheat allergy is difficult. This looks delish and I will be trying it right away.

The 1st show of yours I saw, was this episode. I made the torte de elote and love it! My son has been begging me to make it again, and soon. There are so many of your recipes I want to try now. You have a great show!

Pati I’m a big fan of your show and I watch it as often as I can, I love the recipes you make, some are foods I grew up eating , others are new to me. One in particular is new to me, it is the Corn Torte. A few years ago I went into my local grocery store which primarily carries Mexican and Latin American products and I came across this divine cake, it was a cross between corn bread and a custard cake. I myself am a Pastry Chef so I’ve been wanting to duplicate this recipe but the consistency and texture was never right. Unfortunately the market closed and I haven’t had it since. when I saw you making this recipe I was excited because I had totally forgotten about this recipe, I made it and it was exactly as I remember it!! This is a recipe that I will continue to make often, Thank you so much.

Daniela, Of course you can use frozen corn kernels! Just makes sure to pat dry any excess moisture from the kernels defrosting before using. Thank you for watching the show!!

i have limited cable, but fortunately i am getting Create! your show is my favorite so far, and i am making either Ju Ju’s birthday cake or the corn torta this week-end! just wish i could find Tajin in Michigan, these could be very tough. can you just substitute chili powder? i would love to make the fruit and veggie stix you made also…

I make this pan for Xmas,….. me salio DELICIOSO!!!! Thanks sooo much for this good recipie!!! keep it up!!!! LOL

Hola senora pati quiero que sepa que me encanta su programa y desde la primera vez que lo vi me converti en su fan. Busco las recetas en su web side siempre,me encanta la comida mexicana y gracias a usted ahora se como cocinarla, esta vez me atrevi a hornear la torta de elote, segui las instrucciones y el sabor delicioso solo que me quedo muy mojadito y no esponjadito como en la foto quisiera que me dijiera por favor si fue que bati muy suave las claras de huevo o porque las incorpore con el mixer no con espatula ala mezcla de elote o la leche era 2%, o que pasaria. me encataria que me respondiera gracias.

Great show! I have recently come across a couple of your shows on PBS. My 6 year old daughter and I want watched you make your Blissful Corn Torte and she asked if we could make. I was planning on making it tonight with with chili. The grocery store I went to yesterday did not have rice flour. Can another flour be substituted? If not, I will run to our main store. We can’t wait to watch your show again!

What can I use in place of the rice flour…can I use corn meal..regular flour ?
