In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the butter until light and fluffy (4-5 minutes). Add the masa, baking powder, salt and sugar and mix till blended. Add the water, corn puree, raspberry puree and vanilla and mix just until combined. Dough should be light and very moist.

Spread the dough on soaked corn husks in a square approximately 1/4 inch thick.
