| I don’t make it with vanilla cake, so I don’t know how to do that. I do doctor up the jiffy mix, though. I use two boxes, melted butter instead of oil, add about 1/2 cup of frozen corn, make sure you use the proper number of eggs, and I add sour cream — about 1/3 of a cup. |
Did I miss where she said it needs to be vegetarian? |
| I would just use a few boxes of cornbread mix, gritty vanilla cake sounds disgusting. Add honey if you want it sweeter or have whipped honey butter on side. Save cake mix for sheet cake desert. |

My favorite recipe is for the corn pudding -
Jiffy Corn Pudding Ingredients - 8.5 oz. box Jiffy corn muffin mix 14.75 oz. can of cream style corn 15.25 oz. can of whole kernel corn, drained 2 eggs 1 c. sour cream ½ c. butter, melted & cooled How to Make Jiffy Corn Pudding Preheat your oven to 350F. Spray an 8x8 inch square baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs slightly. Add melted butter (allow it to cool), sour cream, Jiffy corn muffin mix, cream style corn, and whole kernel corn. Stir together until just combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, and smooth out evenly. Bake at 350 for roughly 50 minutes. The mixture shouldn't be too jiggly, but may have a slight jiggle when you remove it from the oven. That's it. Easy. No adding vanilla cake mix. |
+1 You can even pulse your cornmeal finer in your cuisinart. That said, high five to the fritos poster! Better in every way. |
| Hi everyone. Thanks for the replies. I do the savory version with canned corn/creamed corn/sour cream each year for Thanksgiving, Xmas, and Easter so I wanted something different like the sweeter version like you get at restaurants. There are so many versions on line, I guess I will just pick one. I may use 1/2 the bag of cake mix and reduce the wet ingredients a bit. |
I know and that’s what triggered me to check the ingredients on the regular version. A family member made this at every family event, mostly for me, thinking it was vegetarian. They don’t sell the vegetarian version in her area though so I get to eat plain bread at these events now. |
Let us know how it turns out. I get what you mean about the good stuff at restaurants being sweet. |
Or you could bring something you and everyone else can eat? |
Or Amazon the vegetarian to their house and make it when you get there. |
| jiffy is sweet enough on its own. |
Make the cornbread and have it be your thing made the way you like it. It's not exactly hard. |

I think Krutzees sells a boxed sweet cornbread mix, I’d try that before adding cake mix to cornbread mix. As soon as the cornbread is out of the oven, you could poke holes on the top with a toothpick, and brush on a mix of equal parts melted butter and honey to add a little more sweetness.
Vanilla cake can taste less sweet than a lot of cornbreads! So I don’t know that adding it would bump the sweetness factor, but it would dilute the cornmeal taste and texture which is what makes cornbread so delicious. |

If you can find the Marie calendars mix that is the closest to the sweeter lighter version they sell at restaurants.
I do love the corn pudding version but would skip the solid corn since some people don’t like that. Man, that is so good with the sour cream and the creamed corn. Yum. |
I love the finer grain used in corn bread. It's the new thing for work parties and now I know how everyone is making it. |
