Notes
Bake in the oven alternative:
You can bake the cake - in a cast-iron skillet at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake (only) should come out cleanSkillet Size
I used a 10-inch skillet. If you have small skillets, use 2 and divide the batter to get two cakes out of this recipe. Alternatively, if you have a larger skillet, adjust the baking time to less than 20 minutes. For a thinner cake, you will need to check on doneness at around 15 minutes Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
