Really good - moist and tasty. I used half the sugar so it had a great honey taste. I also used safflower oil instead. Maybe that's what made it light. Thanks for sharing.

I made this cornbread and I didn't like it. It is very crumbly and I have always made my cornbread with butter or lite olive oil. This one is not for me! a bit too dry. needs some butter.

This cornbread has been our family favorite for years! So moist.... lightly sweet.... and rich in flavor. No other recipe I've tried can compare. It is not nearly as crumbly as most recipes too. Only thing I change is to use light olive oil instead of canola.

This is a nice alternative to traditional corn bread. The honey gives it a wonderful flavor. Would definitely make it again.

Good, but I will keep searching as it wasn't quite what I was looking for. It was moist and lasted several days without drying out.

I made this because my grandson absolutely loves cornbread, and the whole family agreed that this was the best they had ever tasted. This is now a family favorite and the only one I make.

I made this to go with turkey chili. My family loved this bread! I made 1-1/2 on the recipe because I needed a 9x13 pan. I thought I didn't have heavy cream (should have looked better) and ended up using a ratio of 3/4C milk and 1/4C butter for the regular recipe. It was beyond golden at 20 minutes but it tasted just fine. This will most likely be my go-to cornbread recipe now.
