Hola! Today we’re making Pan de Elote, a Mexican sweet corn loaf, and it is one of my favorite recipes from my upcoming cookbook, Chicano Bakes!

What is Pan de Elote?
Pan de elote is one of the very few things my mom would bake for us every summer when sweet white corn was in season. The best way I can describe this is as a fusion between a pound cake and corn bread. It’s sweet, dense, and creamy, and perfect on its own or with a dab of butter or with a drizzle of honey. The Summer is the perfect time to make this, as sweet white and sweet yellow corn are both in season right now. If you don’t have a copy of my first cookbook, you can purchase Chicano Eats here, it’s a great companion to Chicano Bakes!
