I'm sure i can find a recipe to make this or something very similar but the recipes I've seen call for it to be baked in a cast iron or an 8 x 8 pan, in other words, anything but a loaf pan. If I bake it in a loaf pan will that affect the rise at all?
Not dumb just confusing because "cornbread" has various meanings to different people and regions. Sounds more like a cornmeal quick bread. I do that with the old standard Jiffy mix and add -ins, Here is a from scratch example that I think fits. Different texture and crust than in cast iron mama but if you're looking to the one you've tasted from store should work. https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/jalapeno-corn-bread
