### Cornbread Cakes
#### Ingredients:
– 1 cup cornmeal
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 2 eggs
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1/4 cup honey
#### Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin with a nonstick cooking spray or line with paper liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure that all the dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs until well combined. Slowly pour the melted butter into the buttermilk mixture while continuously whisking to avoid curdling the eggs.
4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
6. Bake the cornbread cakes in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
7. Once baked, remove the cornbread cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Drizzle each cornbread cake with a generous amount of honey just before serving for a touch of sweetness and extra indulgence.
9. These Cornbread Cakes are best enjoyed warm with a pat of butter or alongside a steaming cup of your favorite tea or coffee. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, but they are best enjoyed fresh.
