Blueberry Cornbread with Maple Buttercream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus more for the baking dish
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups yellow cornmeal
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Make the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and melted butter in a bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk the cornmeal, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Add the cornmeal mixture to the egg mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just incorporated.
- Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
- Transfer to the prepared baking dish and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Transfer to a rack and let cool completely before frosting.
- Make the frosting: Beat the butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add 3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar in batches, alternating with the milk; continue beating until smooth.
- Add the maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg to taste.
- Add the remaining 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar if necessary to reach a spreadable consistency.
- Spread on the cornbread.
