Sour Cream and Cornbread Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line with parchment.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl combine:

  • Flour
  • Cornmeal
  • Sugar
  • Baking soda
  • Baking powder
  • Salt

Whisk well.


3. Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together:

  • Eggs
  • Sour cream
  • Melted butter
  • Milk
  • Vanilla

4. Combine

  • Pour wet mixture into the dry mixture.
  • Stir gently until just combined (do NOT over-mix).
  • Fold in corn or cheddar if adding.

The batter will be thick and creamy.


5. Bake

  • Pour into your baking dish and smooth the top.
  • Bake 25–35 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

6. Optional Honey Butter Glaze (SO good!)

Mix together and brush over the warm cake:

  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Pinch of cinnamon (your signature touch 😉)

🍯 How to Serve

  • Warm with butter or honey
  • As a side with chili or stew
  • As a dessert with whipped cream
  • With fresh berries
  • Drizzled with maple syrup

💛 Tips for the BEST Texture

  • Use buttermilk instead of milk for ultra softness
  • Sour cream makes it moist — don’t skip it
  • For a more cake-like result, add ¼ cup more sugar
  • For a more cornbread-style texture, reduce flour to ¾ cup
