This is our family’s favorite cornbread recipe. It is not your typical southern cornbread. It is sweet like a cake and very moist. The recipe came from one of my mother’s New Jersey friends. She brought it over to the house with a batch of chili when my father passed away and it was so warm and comforting at our time of loss. Whenever we eat this bread I am reminded of and thankful for those small acts of kindness that lift us in times of need.
