Pour it into your sprayed 9x13-inch pan.

If it starts to brown too early cover lay foil over the top for the last 5-10 minutes.

Just like you said - rich and moist! Wonderful cornbread! We LOVED it! Very easy to put together. I added in 1 cup plain flour instead of wholemeal and some chopped up pickled jalapenos. I never realised I had only 3/4 cup cheddar cheese till after I started mixing the ingredients together and so that's the only change I'd to make (instead of the full 1 1/2 cups). But turned out great anyway! I didn't find it necessary to cover for the last 10 mins cooking time and they were done within 50 mins. Thank you, Maeven6, for sharing your mum's wonderful recipe.. I definitely will be making this again! Made for PAC Spring '08.

I am the mother of a Jewish family. Our children range in age from 30 to 8 years old. I have two grandsons. I love to bake and cook with all of them sharing tips and secrets and laughs and sorrows. I find the kitchen is one of the places where the life blood of our family centers. We raise miniature dachshunds and pekingese on the side and have homeschool our children for over 16 years. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg">
