Served warm with butter and maple syrup, orange cornbread Johnny cake is really simple to make. It tastes well with ham or bacon, and leftovers are good chilled as a snack.

Super simple, yet the orange zest adds a nice flavorful touch.
I Really enjoyed this toasted in the morning with my favorite brew.i have been
It was VERY easy to make, and it ended up tasting exactly like I thought it would…orange cornbread. Typically, johnny cake is cooked as a pancake, but I was OK with baking and cutting it into squares. I cut back on the milk a little and added some orange juice, but even with the orange zest, I would have liked more orange flavor. This was OK, served it with butter and maple syrup for breakfast, but not sure I like it well enough to make again.
This is delicious! My family always eats Johnny Cake sprinkled with a little sugar (or Splenda) and soaked in milk. Yes, you need to put it in a bowl first!
