Sweet Jalape?o Cornbread

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

Step 2
Beat margarine and sugar together in a large bowl until smooth.

Step 3
Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Gently stir eggs and milk together in a third bowl. Pour 1/3 of the milk mixture and 1/3 of the flour mixture alternately into margarine mixture; whisk until just mixed. Repeat with remaining flour and milk mixtures; stir in jalape?o peppers. Spread mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 22 to 26 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
