Jiffy Cake Cornbread
Growing up, my best friends mom would make this delicious cake-like corn bread, which I call Jiffy Cake Cornbread. Kathy would mix a box of Jiffy Corn Muffin mix, with a box of Jiffy Golden Yellow Cake mix, and the result was a moist and sweet corn bread. So, I decided to try this cornbread in my slow cooker today, since it was too hot to turn on my oven. It turned out great! I have included directions below for oven cooking as well.
Serve this cornbread with honey butter, on the side of chili, or ribs, or heck it would be good with anything! Yumm.

September 15, 2013 at 4:36 pmThis sounds wonderful! I can’t wait to try it. I use Jiffy corn muffin mix all the time but never would have thought of pairing it w/ a cake mix.

January 7, 2014 at 4:37 pmHow clever, I use the regular Jiffy Cornbread all of the time, I score it right when it comes out of the oven, and we put maple syrup on it. I am TOTALLY trying this!! Pinning!! 🙂 Michaela

September 17, 2015 at 1:25 pmIsn’t a 8×8 pan going to be too small for both boxes that’s what I use for only
1 box?

September 17, 2015 at 2:20 pmIf it’s a deep pan it would be fine, mine is a glass pyrex type and it fits.

August 16, 2016 at 8:12 amCan you just use 2 regular corn bread mixes??
Sarah Olson says
August 16, 2016 at 10:50 amYes! Just follow the liquid on the back. The liquid instructions are different for the cake mix.

November 12, 2018 at 7:27 pmMade this tonight but did something wrong. Tasted delicious but just crumbled when I tried to cut it. And it wasn’t dry so didn’t overtake it. Under or over mixed? Baked it in a dark brown 8x 8 glass pan.
