Moist and firm (but not too dense), a good cornbread for pouring beans or stew over, it holds together well when soaked. To me it has just the right amount of sweetness without being over-sweet. I will make this again but next time I may omit 1 egg because I like cornbread slightly less firm, the eggs I use are pretty big so smaller eggs may be just right. Great taste, I liked it a lot.
