Ingredients: 2 eggs; 1 cup sour cream; 1/2 cup canola oil; 1 can (8-1/4 ounces) cream-style corn; 1-1/2 cups cornmeal; 1/4 cup all-purpose flour; 2-1/4 teaspoons baking powder; 3/4 teaspoon salt

This is a delicious recipe I've served many times to my family. I don't always shape the bread into a heart, but it is fun to do that for Valentine's Day or another special occasion. Even if you don't have a heart-shaped pan, garnishing with ribbon adds a colorful touch. One of our favorite meals is this corn bread with bean soup and a salad.

Ingredients

2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup canola oil
1 can (8-1/4 ounces) cream-style corn
1-1/2 cups cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add sour cream, oil and corn; mix well. Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined. Pour into a greased and floured 5-cup heart shaped baking pan or a 9-in. round pan. Bake at 425° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan before removing to a wire rack.

Editor's Note: For a festive presentation, tie a red ribbon around the edge of the bread before serving.

We didn't care for this. We thought it was too bland.

My 4 little kids liked this recipe especially with honey butter and chili. I love the no sugar and corn in it. Have made it 3 times.

Super moist! Good, but not sweet; notice there is no sugar in the recipe. Maybe southern cornbread is not sweet?
