With over 200K Shares at the time of publication, this delicious Jiffy Cornbread recipe pairs perfectly as a side dish to our favorite copycat Wendys Chili recipe.
Sweet, buttery, and with items usually in your pantry already, this golden brown homemade cornbread is moist, fluffy, and perfectly delicious.
Why you will love making this TikTok Recipe!
There is no doubt that TikTok Creator @chopslap turned on the heat and started a Southern war when he published this sweet cornbread recipe. TikTok went wild and started accusing him of making corncake.
Regardless of what it is – bread or cake- in my world, cornbread is supposed to have an element of sweetness. And the salt he adds to this moist cornbread (or corncake) recipe is divine.
So move over your preconceived notions on what a traditional southern cornbread recipe should be and give this brown sugar, vanilla, and jiffy version a fair shot.
Sweet Cornbread Ingredients:
- Jiffy corn muffin mix
- Sugars – granulated sugar and brown sugar.
- Dairy – sour cream, milk, and unsalted butter.
- egg
- vanilla
- sea salt or coarse salt (kosher salt)

How did we feel about this Viral TikTok Sweet Cornbread?
I put this in for 25 mins and could tell the center wasn’t done yet. And then the center fell, which I hate. Tastes OK but doesn’t look as good! Then I put it in for an additional 5 minutes.
The edges are nice and brown, but not a ton on the top like the video. Probably the pan, gas stove, lighting, and all the other things it could be! But either way, it’s delicious.
Important note – do not remove while too warm! I tried to take it out of the pan when it was too warm, and I ripped part of the top off with my knife. It’s good—moist, dense. I love the salt on the bottom!!
