Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish; set aside.
  2. Place corn muffin mix, cake mix, eggs, water, milk, and butter in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to combine all of the ingredients until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Tap gently on the counter a couple of times to release any big air bubbles.
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cornbread comes out clean.

Notes

  • The total baking time will vary depending on the type of pan that you use, and on your individual oven. For instance, dark non-stick pans will cook the cornbread faster. To check if the corn bread is done, insert a toothpick into the center and make sure it comes out clean.
  • If the top of the cornbread starts to get too dark before it's done baking, cover loosely with foil.
  • Serve the sweet cornbread cake recipe with butter and honey for drizzling, or add a dollop of apple butter on every bite!
  • Cornbread Muffins with Yellow Cake Mix: turn this batter into muffins! Bake standard-size muffins in a 375°F oven for about 17-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Jalapeño and Cheese: add 2 chopped jalapeno peppers to the batter, along with 1-2 cups of grated cheddar cheese.
  • Green Chiles or Green Onion: stir 2 small cans of diced green chilies or ¼ cup of sliced green onion into the batter. Add some cheese, too!
  • Blueberry: fold 2 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter.
  • Cranberry: add 2 cups of dried sweetened cranberries or 2 cups of chopped fresh cranberries into the batter. For a hint of orange, try adding the zest from 1 orange, too!
  • Swap out the melted butter for vegetable oil. It won't have quite the same rich taste, but it will keep the corn bread mixes nice and moist!
