if you love sweet cornbread, this is the recipe for you!
Just a suggestion. I used a 12×16 inch cake pan for this recipe. It worked better because it made the cornbread just the right height. I used a half of stick of melted butter in place of the oil and added a half can of cream corn. Just a suggestion. This is a really good cornbread with just the right amount of sweetness!
