Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 3 tsp orange zest
- 1 tbsp orange juice
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 2 large eggs
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch or 10-inch springform pan.
- Mix the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, orange zest, salt, nutmeg, and ginger in a medium bowl.
- In a large liquid measuring cup, combine the wet ingredients, including the eggs, and quickly whisk it.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold using a silicone spatula.
- Stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top.
- Bake for 25 minutes until the center has risen.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Optional: Serve with whipped maple or honey butter for even more flavor.
Notes
- Don’t over-mix the batter, as this can result in a tougher and denser cornbread.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice and zest for optimal flavor.
- Make sure to correctly measure out the ingredients, especially when it comes to the flour and cornmeal. Too much or too little can affect the texture of your cornbread.
