Boston Market cornbread is a wonderfully fluffy and sweet cornbread. You will wonder if the Boston Market Cornbread is cake or is it cornbread? Well, I am here to tell you, the Boston Market cornbread is both. This Boston market cornbread will go very quickly when served.
Boston Market Cornbread
Hands down this is my favorite way to make cornbread. The Boston Market Cornbread is a sweet cornbread that always getts eaten up when it is served. The first time I brought this to a family dinner it was eaten up in a hot minute.
This recipe is not from scratch. Over the years I have never been able to recreate this unique flavor from scratch. Boxed mixes provide the base of this recipe. For this recipe, Jiffy cornbread and cake mixes are used. I have found Jiffy mix to be available at most grocery stores. I always pick up a few extra during the holidays, as they are always on sale then.
Recipe Variations
8 x 8-inch pan
To make this recipe you can simply pour the content of both boxes of the mix into a bowl. Now you will add all of the required ingredients on the directions on the box into the bowl. This recipe makes am 8 x 8-inch pan.
13 x 9-inch pan
Use 2 boxes of the Jiffy Cornbread mix, and 1 box (15.25 ounces) Yellow cake mix. Note: Use the deepest pan that you have, and fill the pan only 3/4 of the way full. If you do not do this, it may over-fill the pan.
This produces a cake-like sweet treat. If you have never tried this, you will find this a light, sweet, cake-like cornbread.

Boston Market Cornbread
Ingredients
- 1 8.5 ounce box Jiffy Mix Cornbread Mix
- 1 9.0 ounce box Jiffy Mix Yellow Cake Mix
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix both boxes according to directions, and combine the batter. I generally use a large mixing bowl, and add both boxes together, and add the other ingredients all at once.

November 20, 2017 at 12:35 pmDoesn’t Boston Market’s version have actual corn chunks in it? Just trying to figure out how to get a more accurate version, if possible. Any ideas?? I probably shouldn’t use cupcake liners either right, in order to get the edges crispy? do I need to change the cooking time if I’m doing cupcake size versus baking a whole sheet?
Stephanie Manley says
November 20, 2017 at 1:18 pmI don’t recall the cornbread having any chunks in it. So I don’t know how to make that more accurate. I really felt the recipe was fairly close.
The recipe directions have the baking time listed. I hope this is helpful for you.

January 2, 2018 at 3:42 pmSo make the corn bread per box and the cake mix per box and then combine the two mixtures?
Stephanie says
January 4, 2018 at 5:02 amIf you are using Jiffy mix (cake and cornbread) 1 box of each. IF you are using regular boxed cake mix it’s 1 box of cake mix, and 2 boxes of jiffy corn bread mix.

November 23, 2016 at 4:01 pmGoing to use 3 boxes of corn muffin mix with one cake mix for a less cakelike texture.

November 20, 2016 at 8:58 amHi Stephanie I want to try your cornbread recipe but how many eggs do I use and do I use butter in the mix
Stephanie says
November 20, 2016 at 9:03 amThe box mix has the ingredients on it, I think it will take no more than 4 eggs. I do not think there is any butter used in the recipe.

Stephanie says

October 29, 2016 at 1:28 pmHi Stephanie can you please help me, I am in charge to do the dessert . What dessert is good with BBQ ribs, please
Stephanie says
October 31, 2016 at 3:16 amI would try whatever you like best. For me BBQ ribs mean summer so that I would do a homemade ice cream.

March 5, 2016 at 8:54 amThis was a disaster. Cornbread stuck to the pan. Ended up scraping it up out of the pan in little pcs. I’ve been making cornbread for years. Nothing like this ever happened. The Jiffy cake mix box said to line the pan with wax paper. I’ll have to try that next time.

December 31, 2014 at 1:36 pmMade them today but did not have yellowcake mix
So I subsuted it with yellow mix. In fudge marble from ducan Hinz
They still tasted like corn muffins
Stephanie Manley says
January 1, 2015 at 10:23 amWell they should have some corn muffin taste. How did it go with the fudge marble?
kim says
February 15, 2016 at 2:14 pmYou used a marble fudge cake mix with a corn muffin mix? Really……..
Maureen Harrison says
October 6, 2014 at 12:51 pmI used to make the cornbread for Boston Market. This is good but doesn’t taste anything like the real thing; it is much too cake-like. I will try making it with half a box of cake mix and 2 boxes of Jiffy next time.
