Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c cornmeal
2 c white flour
1 c sugar
2 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 c vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 1/4 c pumpkin puree
1 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • 3. 3. On the first speed of a hand or standing mixer, beat together the eggs, oil, pumpkin puree, and milk.
  • 4. 4. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry in three batches with a rubber spatula. The batter will be smooth, and is more fluffy than liquidy.
  • 5. 5. Pour the batter into a 9 by 13 baking pan (or two loaf pans), and place in the middle rack of the oven.
  • 6. 6. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick stuck in the middle of the cornbread comes out dry.
  • 7. 7. Let the cornbread cool for ten minutes, and then cut into pieces and serve.
