Sweet Cake-Like Cornbread Recipe

Because I grew up in two households, I learned to make cornbread two ways. One way, was to put it in a cast iron skillet- and this resulted in a firmer sort of cornbread. The other, was this cake like way that many people already know and love.

• 3 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
