Excellent recipe. I didn't have canned creamed corn and used regular canned corn instead, as well as substituting sour cream for the buttermilk. I also added a pinch of baking powder as I suspected that the baking soda was in error. Maybe not, but it seemed to work anyway.

Had this with dinner yesterday (Jagacida) and it was nice... It smelled SO good while baking...I bet it would be even more amazing if you switched out the cheddar for a mexican blend shredded cheese...Thank you for posting this new cornbread experience!

Chia, this was very good and also moist. I liked the addition of the cheese and I also added the optional pinch of cayenne pepper. This is a very hardy cornbread that rises nicely. Thanks for a good cornbread recipe!
