My aunt Crystal is the queen of classic foods that are simplified. She is always finding tasty ways to make our favorite foods faster and easier. The first time I tried it, I thought it was the best cornbread I had ever tasted!

This is her semi-homemade recipe for an easy cornbread that is soft, not starchy, and deliciously sweet! Best of all, this recipe is super simple to toss together and it feeds a crowd! It has become my go-to cornbread recipe and it’s the cornbread all my family prefers.

How To Make Sweet Cornbread

Prep – Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. You’ll also want to grease a 9 x 13 baking pan lightly with a shot of cooking spray.

Mix Separately & Combine – You’ll want to make the yellow cake mix and Jiffy cornbread mix in separate bowls according to the directions on each box. Once both mixes have been prepared, combine the two and stir them until they have fully mixed together.

Pour & Cook – Pour the batter into your baking pan and then put it in the oven. Bake the mix for about 40 minutes until it is fully cooked and golden brown on top. To make sure it’s ready, you can use the “toothpick trick” and if it comes out clean, it’s ready.

Serve – Cut the sweet cornbread into squares and top with a delicious Honey Butter or your other favorite topping.

Recipe Variations

Muffins – Sometimes I’ll use this recipe to make muffins so I can eat them on the go. This recipe will make approximately 2 muffin pans. Fill your muffin tin with liners and then pour in the mix. These will cook faster, so you’ll only need to cook them for about 15 mins.

Additional Flavor – If you want to mix things up a bit, you can add things like cooked bacon, blueberries or cranberries to this sweet cornbread recipe.
