anyone have a recipe for corn muffins that are more yellow-cake like than grainy? sort of or better
than the ones you can usually buy in the grocery store's bakery?

all i can find are recipes that produce a more cornmeal based muffin that isnt cake-like...any
recipes or tips would be great!

thank you

Try substituting half of the cornmeal in the recipe with all-purpose flour. Keep experimenting with
the proportions until you find a consistency that you like.

Someone once suggested using a box of jiffy corn muffin mix along with a box of jiffy white cake mix--
prepared according to the directions on each box and mixed together, I'm guessing. That would give
it a cake-like texture.

The last time I made cornbread I prepared the batter according to the box instructions and added left-
over pancake batter (about a cup) and a tsp of baking powder to the mix--it turned out very light
and very good.

I haven't tried this because I like my corn muffins grainy and not cake-like...but I recall seeing a
recipe for corn muffins that used a fairly low amount of cornmeal and used cake flour (not self-
rising) in place of the all-purpose flour.

I have no idea where I saw the recipe, but you might want to experiment...

Good luck!

Take one yellow cake mix mix as directed on package. Take two jiffy corn muffin mixes, mix as
directed. Fold together and bake like a cake, Makes a very sweet corn muffin, sort of like Marie
Calendars corn bread. Sandra

Buy a box of Jiffy Mix... if it's not sweet enough, add a couple of Tbs. of sugar. Should be cakey-
enough. Sure does drive me nuts when people want corn muffins that taste like cake! <G>

Try substituting half of the cornmeal in the recipe with all-purpose flour. Keep experimenting with
the proportions until you find a consistency that you like.

That, and use a fine grind cornmeal, not medium of coarse grind.

Sounds good, Sandra. But what do you do with the yellow cake mix? Do you mix it according to
directions, and Then stir it into the corn muffin mixes, which also have been mixed according to
directions. An odd question, but I do have a recipe that calls for a dry ingredient to be mixed into
a cake mix. (Try this. Prepare a lemon cake mix. Stir in dry Jello Pistachio Pudding mix. bake as
directed. Wonderfully moist and good. I bake mine in a bundt pan, a drizzle over it some simple
frosting )

Yes just mix together and bake, really sweet and light like a cake. Really good with honey
butter. Sandra
