Make this sweet Jiffy Cake cornbread in the slow cooker for a great side dish. Pair with honey butter or even butter and jam.
Growing up, my best friend’s mom would make this delicious cake-like cornbread, 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 cornbread. 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!

This recipe is so old school, and simply easy. I made this along with some slamming slow cooked beef stew. OMG. It was SO Flavorful & moist. What a wonderful delicious, wintertime meal. Thank you for this helpful recipe.
I was wondering if I could just use regular jiffy yellow cornbread? And how would I do it? Please and thank you.
Hi Melissa, you would need 2 boxes and follow the ingredients on the boxes. Cook for what this recipe states. I hope that helps!
Lawsy Jean Lawsy Jean as my Mamaw would say, when I saw you mixing cornbread with cake mix. Cause I don’t eat sweet cornbread, I am from the South. BUT hold your horses, I’m just getting started, BUT I remember all those morning afters, nahh I don’t drink those morning after having cornbread, there is always some left and a favorite think to do is crumble it and add a couple spoons sugar and filling it with milk. Yes ma’am I still do it today. I always hoped Post or Kellogs would develop a sweet cornbread cereal and call em corny breads!! So I am a gonna give this a try.
So easy to make and everyone loves this!
Can you use jiffy all purpose baking mix along with the jiffy cornbread? Can’t find the jiffy cake mix
I’m unsure bunny! I’ve never tried and I would be hard to be certain without trying it.
Made 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.
I also baked in 8×8 brown glass pan it did not crumble but took much longer to bake
Can you just use 2 regular corn bread mixes??
Yes! Just follow the liquid on the back. The liquid instructions are different for the cake mix.
Thanks
Made this for Thanksgiving. Everyone loved it. Will be making for Christmas too. Thanks for a great easy recipe!
It’s good but can’t taste the cornbread much I think I like regular ol’ jiffy cornbread
Isn’t a 8×8 pan going to be too small for both boxes that’s what I use for only
1 box?
If it’s a deep pan it would be fine, mine is a glass pyrex type and it fits.
Does this freeze well?
What size slow cooker works best for this recipe?
6-quart oval 🙂
Jiffy yellow cake mix is hard to find in my area, so I tried this recipe with a Jiffy white cake mix. Worked just fine!
I use Duncan Hines Butter cake mix and my family loves how moist it is.
How 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
This 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.
