Description
Chimodho, also known as Cornbread Loaf, is a delightful golden treat that combines the sweetness of corn with a soft, fluffy texture. Perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a spacious bowl, mix together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs together until smooth and uniform.
- Gradually introduce the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
- Carefully incorporate the corn kernels, ensuring they are evenly mixed throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cornbread loaf rest in the pan for about 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra cheesy version, mix in 1 cup of shredded cheese, such as cheddar or pepper jack, before baking.
- To add a hint of spice, fold in 1/2 cup of chopped jalapeños or diced bell peppers for a flavorful kick.
