Easy in the Skillet

I tried this recipe at home, from Parade Magazine:

 

Quick Skillet Cake

1 C flour

1/4 tsp. baking powder

Pinch of salt

2 large eggs

1/2 C brown sugar

1/2 C sugar

1 stick unsalted butter, melted

1/2 C walnuts, finely chopped

 

Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. Heavily butter a 9-inch cast-iron skillet. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk the eggs and sugar together. Add the butter and whisk until satiny. Stir in the flour mixture; whisk until smooth. Spread batter in skillet and top with walnuts. Bake twenty-five to thirty minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

I cut the sugars in half but added more walnuts to form a top crust of sorts. A splash or two of vanilla also added to the flavor of the cake. Even better, it did not stick in my cast iron skillet after liberally coating the bottom with softened butter.

 

The skillet cake is wonderfully good stuff, and very easy to make.
