Made this 3 times. First as written. 2nd time cooked on stove. I added about 2 tsp. fresh grated ginger, and a little fresh lemon juice and left out the orange zest until finished cooking. I found that cooking with the zest took out too much flavor so I added it after cooking was finished. Much more fresh orange flavor. This last time, I used a fresh pineapple, finely chopped, and repeated the same thing with fresh ginger. Adding it after cooked along with the orange zest. I found cooking on the stove gets the texture closer to our liking. We like it!

This is excellent cornbread! I give it 4 stars because the instructions could be better. Melt the butter in microwaveable mixing bowl and go from there. Or melt butter and combine it with sugar in a mixing bowl. A mixing bowl is easier to clean up as well. Great cornbread! The instructions do not specify preparing a baking

This is the first time in maybe 25 years I've baked a cake using a box mix. I won't do it again. Although the almond flavor is there the texture and taste come from the box.
