Chocolate Cornbread created by LILLIANCOOKS

I love cornbread and I love chocolate...so I combined the two and made this absolutely perfect chocolate dessert! I used my favorite cornbread recipe that I got from a foodie friend, and I tweaked it a bit! It worked great!

I made this today and while its flavor is good and has a gritty texture that I enjoy, it was also incredibly dry. I would suggest either adding more moisture to the recipe or serving the finished cake in some sort of sauced or trifle-type dish, with lots of whipped cream or sauce to catch the crumbs. Not the best cake recipe I've tried, but a good solution for something quick to make, especially when there's a flour or butter shortage.

I think this really depends on what cocoa power you use. We had a cocoa/dutch chocolate mixture which is a very strong dark chocolate flavor and takes a loooot of sugar to sweeten up. I would recommend using a lighter cocoa powder, even if you're a dark chocolate lover, it just didnt pair well with the cornbread taste/feel. Otherwise the recipe offered good texture and moisture of the bread. It was very promising, just the kind of recipe that depends on your brand and quality of a certain ingredient: in this case the cocoa powder.

Was considering brownies but was also thinking about making cornbread, when I thought to google for a combination. Very easy to make, moist and chocolaty with the slight grit of cornbread. I added some chocolate chips as well. This is a nice desert. Add some butter and powdered sugar and you have a great desert. Also great with coffee.

As much as I like chocolate AND cornbread, I'd never have thought of putting them together in the same mouthful! However, after tasting this, I'm completely won over! These are absolutely wonderful, & especially so when I had one topped with a bit of homemade honey butter! Definitely a keeper of a recipe for me! Thanks so much for posting it!
