My cornbread is currently going on 45min at 350 and still so soggy in the middle! Anyone else have this problem?
Susie says
Hmmm… I would love to help you troubleshoot this because I have not had that happen and haven’t had a comment like that yet. What brand of yellow cake mix did you use? Did you use 2 boxes of jiffy corn muffin mix?
SueG says
Mine did the same thing today. double checked the recipe several times. Baked it in a 9×13 stoneware baker that bakes everything perfect. Edges were great but had to throw out the middle
Susan says
Way too sweet, I was so disappointed! I suggest a different recipie’
Susan says
I have to edit my previous comment. Took the cornbread to potluck and got so many positive comments! The too sweet taste was just too much for me but everyone else loved it.
Susie says
So nice.. thank you for coming back and telling me that. Most people would just let the first comment stand. I really appreciate you taking the time to rewrite that. Thank you!!
Lynn says
Susie, have u ever added creamed corn along in with the other ingredients ?? And if u had, how much did u add into the mixture ??? Thanks for sharing this recipe !
Susie says
I have not added creamed corn to my cornbread, not sure I have ever had cornbread with creamed corn in in. Am I missing out!?
Definitely check out my recipe for Jiffy Corn Casserole, it is not like cornbread, but it has creamed corn in it and it is an amazing side dish!
Jeannie says
This is the best cornbread ever. My husband couldn’t stop saying how good it was. The flavor from the cake mix makes it extra yummy. I was concerned it might be too sweet but it wasn’t at all. I served this with 5 hour stew.
Susie says
Excellent! So glad you loved it!
April says
I don’t have any yellow cake mix. What can I sub it with?
Susie says
You can try white cake mix, but I don’t think it will give you the same results.
