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.
Susie Weinrich
Love this!!! Thank you so much
Beth
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.
Cheryl
Try using Duncan Hines Butter cake mix. It should not taste like vanilla.
Susie Weinrich
Great suggestion!
Lynn B. Walsh
We make this Cornbread All The Time!!! My Family Loves It!!! It Is DELICIOUS!!!❤️🥰
Chrissy
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.
Sue
I made this and my family thought it was regular cake they loved the recipe! Will definitely make this again.
Vicki
Mine always is too crumbly and falls apart. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

I just tried this recipe and it really is the best cornbread I’ve ever made! Family raved.!! Already looking forward to topping it with maple syrup for breakfast..Can’t thank you enough.
Carmen
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.
Kerry

Dawn

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.
Susie Weinrich
I hope it lived up to your expectations!!! It is definitely more of a cake texture instead of a coarse cornbread.
Marsha
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 fan
Cassy
Try gluten free corn bread mix you can add more CB mix if you like
