Thank you for posting this recipe!! been searching for moist corn bread recipe and tried making twice already and the results were bad. I was doing the exact measurements too. So came across your recipe and this turned out perfectly moist! Really recommend your recipe! Thank you so much! With love from Canada

I'm always trying new cornbread recipes and this one is a keeper! Chewy, moist texture was a hit with my family. I cut the recipe in half, but followed the directions exactly. I definitely recommend using the topping too. Might have more calories, but it was delicious!
