Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

• 6 tbsp. butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 4 tbsp. cocoa
• 2 to 3 tbsp. milk

1. Cream butter.

2. Combine sugar and cocoa.

3. Add sugar and cocoa mixture to butter

4. Add milk to and butter mixture. I would start with 2 tbsp. of milk and if it's too thick add another tbsp. of milk. I like mine thinner for a delicate drizzle on the cake!

Sweet Cornbread Cake

My new delish cornbread cake recipe. I love it so much! It tastes like a dessert for a side dish!

•  1 Cup Cornmeal
• 3 cups flour
• 1 1/3 cups white sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 2 1/2 cups whole milk

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Stir together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Pour in the vegetable oil, melted butter, honey, beaten eggs, and milk, and stir just to moisten. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the top of the cornbread starts to brown or show cracks.

DELISH!
