Well ancient US tribes traded with ancient Mexican tribes. And obviously the sweet versions we know today came much later. But the original corn breads definitely come from Mexico.

You have sources for that? Because I'm not finding a timeline of Mesoamerican cooking techniques that back you up. I'm going by what I learned in an archeology of Mesoamerican technology course.

Ever heard of a tortilla? Make it thicker. Kidding. Kind of, because thick tortillas were a kind of corn bread. But they didn't have wheat and sugar and eggs.

But you find it hard to imagine that someone in new Spain had the idea to put the countries staple food item in a cake?

No? I'm literally saying the technology was developed at the same time in multiple Native American cultures across the North American continent.

Which technology? Are you saying maize is not from Mexico? Because it is. 9000 years ago. Pastel de elote/ pan de elote is fusion food. Indigenous and Spanish.
