Lima Bean & Ham Stew with Sweet Cornbread Cake

Lima Bean and Ham Recipe

Comfort Food, Fires, and Hurricanes

One of my favorite comfort foods is Lima Bean and Ham Stew served with Sweet Cornbread Cake.

Today was the perfect day to make this comforting recipe as 16 inches of rain fell from Tropical Storm Beta! More rain is forecast for tonight as the storm finally reaches Houston.

The Best Medicine

I’m trying my best not to lose my mind with worry as I watch parts of our Nation consumed by fire and others inundated by hurricanes and tropical storms.

I’ve decided that the best medicine for times like these is a lot of prayer and comfort food.

Description

I’m not a fan of dense cornbread so after several attempts, I found the perfect recipe combination for cornbread cake! 


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup Cake flour (if not available, use all-purpose)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/3 cups white sugar

2 tablespoon baking powder

2 tablespoons powdered buttermilk (optional)

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


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven 350 degrees F. and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray
  2. In a large bowl combine cornmeal, flours, sugar, baking powder, powdered buttermilk, and salt. 
  3. Add the wet ingredients and stir till just combined
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the cake browns and begins to show cracks
  5. Cool slightly before slicing

 


Notes

I serve my sweet cornbread cake with whipped peach butter. It’s so good!! 

To make the peach butter:

Whip 1 stick room temperature butter until soft and light in color. Stir in 2 heaping teaspoons of peach jam

Serve on with warm cornbread. ENJOY!
