Ingredients

1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1-1/4 cups buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 small jalapeno peppers, cored, de-seeded, and minced
1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F. Line an 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and buttermilk until smooth. In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold flour mixture, jalapeno, and cheddar into liquid until batter is just combined.
