Sweet cornbread 9×13 baking dish recipe
Here is a simple and delicious sweet cornbread recipe that can be baked in a 9×13 baking dish:
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup canned cream-style corn
Preparation Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the cream-style corn into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the top is golden brown.
- Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool slightly in the baking dish before slicing and serving.
Servings
There are three standard ways to do it when slicing a 9×13 cornbread. Each of these methods has its benefits, and the one you choose will depend on your preferences and the occasion.
- Classic Square Slices: This method involves slicing the cake into equal-sized squares. Cut the cake in half down the middle to create two 6.5 x 9-inch rectangles. Then, cut each rectangle into three equal sections, resulting in a total of 12 squares. This method is great for large gatherings where people take their own slice, ensuring everyone gets an equal amount.
- Diagonal Slices: This method involves cutting the cake diagonally to create diamond-shaped slices. Start by cutting the cake in half diagonally, from one corner to the opposite corner. Then, make additional cuts parallel to the first cut, spacing them about 2 inches apart. This will result in diamond-shaped slices that are slightly larger than the square slices. This method is great for formal occasions where presentation is key.
- Rectangular Slices: This method involves cutting the cake into long, rectangular slices. Cut the cake in half lengthwise to create two 4.5 x 13-inch rectangles. Then, make additional cuts perpendicular to the first cut, spacing them about 2 inches apart. This will result in long, rectangular slices that are great for serving on a platter.
This sweet cornbread is perfect as a side dish for chili, barbecue, or any meal where you want a touch of sweetness.
