Bake in oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean

Notes. Depending on how sweet you like your cornbread you could use 1/2 to 1 cup of sugar. The flour in the recipe makes the cornbread have a bit more of a cake texture. If you like a denser/true southern unsweetened cornbread you could not use the flour and use only cornmeal (adjust the measurements). My mom does not use any flour in her cornbread, but I like it a little less dense.
