Jalapeno Corn Bread
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup finely chopped seeded jalapenos
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups medium-grind cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- Butter a 12-by-4 1/2 -inch loaf pan.
- Heat the olive oil in a small skillet.
- Add the jalapenos, red pepper and corn and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until wilted, about 4 minutes.
- Scrape the mixture onto a plate and let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in 1/2 cup of water.
- Stir in the vegetable oil.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the dry ingredients into the sugar mixture.
- Add the eggs and the cooked vegetables and beat until just blended.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 45 minutes, or until golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean; if the top browns too quickly, cover it with foil.
- Turn the corn bread out onto a rack to cool before slicing.
