Dulce de Leche Nixtamasa Bundt Cake

Versión en español

I wanted to try combining the flavors of corn with Dulce de leche, inspired by Mexican sweet tamales, but without all the work associated. The result was a success, I recommend it a lot, this Dulce de Leche Nixtamasa Bundt Cake has a soft texture, but with an unexpected and delicious crisp finish.

Bake this and let's celebrate Dulce de Leche Day this October 11th, and try the new Premium cornmeal from Maseca: Nixtamasa.
