Quick + easy sweet Jiffy cornbread recipe everyone will love!

Make soft, sweet Jiffy cornbread in minutes with this classic Jiffy cornbread recipe! It combines a cornbread mix and a yellow cake mix for the perfect moist bread.

So there are some words that just don’t mean the same thing in different parts of the country. “Cornbread” is one of them. In the west, where I grew up, cornbread is soft and sweet and maybe more like a dessert than a bread, but hey, it’s still called cornbread so we eat it with meals instead of for dessert. But in the south, cornbread is rougher in texture, not nearly so sweet, and often full of actual corn kernels. I can’t tell you how disappointed I was the first time I ordered cornbread in Memphis and got, you know, actual cornbread instead of the cakey stuff I was expecting!

If you’re a fan of Southern cornbread, you can pass this post on by. But if you have a hankering for a moist, sweet cornbread that you can smother in butter and honey and serve up with a big bowl of chili, this recipe is for you!

I’ve made cornbread from scratch before, and it was pretty darn tasty. But this “Jiffy” version is so fast to put together that I find myself making it every time we have chili, which is good, because chili makes half of my children cry. Sigh…but luckily they love this cornbread so much they can usually be persuaded to eat a small bowl anyway.

It always turns out moist, soft and sweet, not dry and crumbly like other cornbread I’ve tried.

Sweet Jiffy cornbread recipe

This “recipe” couldn’t be simpler. It’s a mashup of the Jiffy brand corn muffin mix and the Jiffy brand Golden Yellow cake mix. You know, the ones in the little boxes that look like they’re from the 1950’s?

Dump the mixes, eggs, milk and water in a bowl, whisk to combine, pour in a 9×13 pan and 20 minutes later you have warm, sweet cornbread.

    I have been making this cornbread for many years. In fact I put it into mason jars and do it up all cutesy for a yearly boutique and bake sale and it sales out fast. The biggest problem is California grocery stores no longer carry the cake mix. On occasion Walmart has a few, which I buy all they have, 5-6 at most. When I travel to the South I load my suitcase up! I’ve also gotten desperate and ordered from their website. Not sure if it’s still the same, but had to buy minimum of 2 cases and shipping was rather high. But, we always do what we have to do to get what we want! This cornbread is the best! On my recipe cards for the jars, I call it “Better Than Marie’s Cornbread”

      HI. Jiffy cornbread is already too sweet for me. Texture is good. Will adding the cake mix cut down on the sweet. Or do you have suggestions how to cut the sweetness. Basically I make cornbread from scratch. If I hurry I bake Jiff, just to Ohio sweet. Thxx

    I can’t find the jiffy cake mix and don’t have time to order. Can I use another basic brand of cake mix?
