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.

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.
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
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.
What size slow cooker works best for this recipe?
6-quart oval 🙂
Does this freeze well?
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.
It’s good but can’t taste the cornbread much I think I like regular ol’ jiffy cornbread
Made this for Thanksgiving. Everyone loved it. Will be making for Christmas too. Thanks for a great easy recipe!
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 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.
