Sweet Cornbread

Sweet Cornbread is a fluffy, cake-like cornbread that is sweet and studded with bits of corn.
Pro Tip
After dividing the batter in the loaf pan (step #3), there is about 1/4 cup batter leftover that can be baked alongside the mini loaves in a small ramekin or as a single muffin. 1 1/2 cups cake mix is half of a 15.25-oz box. The rest of the box mix can be used to double this recipe or to make Birthday Funfetti Pancakes.
Substitutions
The recipe is shown using an 8-cavity mini loaf pan but a 9×13 inch baking pan can be used instead with the same baking time.

This sweet cornbread is made with half a box of white or yellow cake mix for added sweetness and a fluffy, cake-like texture.

Cream style corn is a mixture of whole corn kernels and pulped corn that is folded into the batter just before baking to enhance the flavor and texture of the cornbread.

I like to make mini loaves for easy presentation and serving sizes but this recipe can also be made in a 9×13 inch baking pan and cut into squares.

These sweet cornbread mini loaves are great on their own but are also the perfect side for chili, soup, or barbeque.
