I have been making your recipe for years…It is the BEST cornbread in the world (& sooo easy), and my family requests it frequently. When we have guests over, they always ask me for the recipe.Reply

So much vanilla and cake flavor. Doesn’t taste like cornbread at all. Better off adding sour cream and butter to make a moist corn bread. Will not make this again. Yuck.Reply

I like the cake consistency for cornbread which is why I tried this recipe, but not the flavor, the vanilla of the cake ruins the cornbread taste. My family didn’t care for it at all.Reply
Sue
I made this and my family thought it was regular cake they loved the recipe! Will definitely make this again.

I made this for couple of times and I love it! I like to add 1/4 cup of honey and substitute the vegetable oil for coconut and made it moist. So delicious! Thanks! It’s perfect for the holidays.

I’ve made southern cornbread totally from scratch for over 45 years that everyone both in family and visitors have always loved, asked for the recipe, but recently my husband and I were away from home, needed cornbread, I know…but we did and we bought a pan of already made cornbread at a local grocery chain. Turns out theirs was very different and had for lack of a better way to describe it…. a very cake texture to it. We’d never had cornbread like it, but we both really liked it. I’ve been on a quest since then to figure out how to make that type of cornbread once in awhile, too. I’m very anxious to try this recipe out as I am a pretty good “judge” from reading any recipe about how it will turn out, and this one sounds promising for that cake texture cornbread we had and really liked.

I hope it lived up to your expectations!!! It is definitely more of a cake texture instead of a coarse cornbread.

Winn Dixie, down here in Florida has that kind of texture and flavor is wonderful. I was kinda wondering how to, and I think you hit the nail on the head, as they say…lol. Thanks

Ok it does taste good, but it tastes like cake, not a sweet cornbread. Not a fanReply
