This recipe is a sweet cornbread that includes West Indian mixed essence. Mixed essence has a deliciously unique flavour and can be found in many West Indian drinks and baked goods.

Serve this Caribbean inspired cornbread with my Jamaican Rum Glazed Turkey! Try it next you are hosting for a special occasion.
