  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 boxes Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • ⅔ cup milk
  • 5 eggs

Serving

  • Optionally make a spread for serving- - Honey Butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Prepare a 9×13 pan with baking spray or oil. You can also use 2- 8×8 or 9×9 pans. (If you use a glass pan you will probably cook the entire 35 minutes, in a dark/non-stick pan start checking around 27-30 minutes.)

  • Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Recipe Tips and Notes:

You can use any brand yellow cake mix that calls for 3 eggs, 1 cup water, and ½ cup oil.

    Can I use a white cake mix. I’m concerned with the yellow one reviews stated they didn’t like the vanilla taste ? I remember in school cafeteria they served something like that, it was like a white cornbread cake like texture. I loved it . I’m hoping this could be what they did .

      You can certainly try, it should work just the same as the yellow cake mix. However, I have not tested this.
