Ingredients

Scale
  • 1¼ cups yellow cornmeal
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅛–¼ teaspoon clove
  • ⅛–¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup cooked sweet potatoes pureed
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • orange food coloring optional
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar packed
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and grease an 8-inch glass baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk all dry ingredients including cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
  3. In another bowl, combine the sweet potato puree, eggs, egg yolk, vegetable oil, melted butter, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until uniformly mixed.
  4. Optionally, add orange food coloring to the wet mixture and stir in.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until all combined, taking care not to overmix.
  6. Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and place it in the oven’s middle rack. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
  7. After 20 minutes, cover loosely with foil and bake for another 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Remove from oven and prepare the glaze by mixing melted butter, light brown sugar, honey, salt, and cinnamon until smooth and sugar dissolves.
  9. Brush the glaze liberally over the warm cornbread several times.
  10. Slice and serve while warm.

Notes

  • For crisp tops, broil 2–3 minutes at the end
