Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Canned corn kernels, drained
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional)
• 0 Cooking spray or butter for greasing pan

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a bundt pan using cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the whole milk and melted butter, then whisk until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, drained corn kernels, and optional chives, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure it is evenly spread.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes.

Step 9

Gently turn the bundt pan upside-down onto a serving platter to release the cornbread ring. If needed, run a thin knife around the edges to loosen the cornbread.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite soup or chili!
