We did this recipe of sweet cornbread with my kids today, it was 100% their idea, playing on the computer, they found the recipe and asked me to bake it together. At first, I did not want it to do it, because I thought it would be something full of sugar, but honestly, it turned out to be a reasonable recipe, we loved the result. It is also an easy and fast recipe.
The cornmeal gives beautiful color, flavor, and a different "crunch" to this pound cake.
This sweet cornbread lends itself very well to be toast and serve with a layer of Dulce de Leche or Nutella. Or cut into sticks to dip in a bright sauce for a different appetizer.
