Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Canned creamed corn
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, ground allspice, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together until the dry ingredients are well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until everything is combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

Add the canned creamed corn into the batter and gently fold it in until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Optionally, sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for a vibrant garnish before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with butter, honey, or alongside your favorite Caribbean-inspired dishes.
