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
Preheat the oven to 400.
2
Butter a 12-by-4 1/2 -inch loaf pan.

Heat the olive oil in a small skillet.
4
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.
6
In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in 1/2 cup of water.
7
Stir in the vegetable oil.
8
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt.

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.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
