  2. Whisk together cake mix, cornmeal and baking powder in the mixing bowl of an electric standing mixer.
  3. Add oil, butter, eggs and buttermilk. Mix on low speed until just blended, then turn up to medium speed and mix for 3 minutes.
  4. Use a small scoop to portion about ¼ - ⅓ c. batter for each muffin or muffin top, depending on the size of your pans. Do not overfill. Fill about ¾ths full.
