I believe they are the same thing - called cornflour in some countries & cornstarch in the US in particular. Neither are a substitute for flour which you need in your batters as they are thickening agents only. A decent batter has to rise a bit. Maybe tweak the amount of butter or other fat in your batter? I've seen lots of recipes for Olive Oil based cakes for example.
