Mix the lard and tamale flour with a hand mixer, gradually incorporating it while alternating with the chicken broth, without stopping to beat. Finally, add salt. You should obtain a fluffy and light dough. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a pot over high heat and cook the garlic, onion, tomato, morita chiles, and chipotle chiles for 5 minutes or until they are slightly browned. Remove from the pot and blend with the chicken broth, salt, pepper, and cumin for 3 minutes. Return to the heat and cook the sauce for an additional 10 minutes; you should obtain a thick sauce.
To form the red tamale cake: Place a layer of tamale dough in a baking dish, then add a layer of red sauce, add a layer of chicken, and cover with more tamale dough to fill the mold. Cover the tamale cake with roasted banana leaves and aluminum foil. Bake in the Oster® French Door Oven at 180 °C for 40 minutes.
Remove the red tamale cake from the oven and serve it in the same baking dish with great care.
