Sweet Cornbread Cake

Gabriel's favorite. Cornbread with a sweet twist that makes it almost like cake. Top it with honey butter with a hint of cinnamon, and any dessert would have a hard time competing. Delicious! 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9" x 13" baking dish.

Mix together dry ingredients: 

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 1/3 cups sugar
• 3 cups flour (all-purpose)
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

Mix together wet ingredients:  

•  1 cup melted butter (or a combination of 1/3 cup melted butter plus 2/3 cup oil -- vegetable or coconut)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 4 eggs
• 2 1/2 cups whole milk (or 1 cup half and half and 1 1/2 cups skim milk)

Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir by hand ONLY until just mixed. Do not overmix!  Turn the batter into the baking dish and bake for 45 minutes -- until the edges barely begin to pull away from the edges and the top JUST begins to brown.
