Torta de Choclo (Colombian-Style Corn Cake)
Ingredients
- 5 cups fresh corn
- 4 tablespoons corn starch or maizena
- 5 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 large eggs beaten
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- Pinch of salt
- ½ pound grated queso blanco or mozzarella cheese
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the corn in the food processor. Preheat an oven to 350°F. Grease a baking pan.
- In a large bowl, stir together the corn, corn starch, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, mix together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract and butter until just combined. Add the cheese and mix well.
- Stir the milk mixture into the cornmeal mixture until just combined. Spread the batter in the prepared pan.
- Bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let stand in the pan for at least 5 minutes.
- Place a baking sheet over the pan, carefully invert the pan and sheet, and let the corn cake fall onto the sheet. Cut into squares and serve hot or warm.

We’ve made these twice already. They are a winner! I add some cayenne powder to give them a little kick, but I’ve made them without it and with fresh mozzarella, corn kernels from actual corn on the cob (1 cob per cup) and they’ve been a big hit.
