Old-Fashioned Skillet Cake

When the sugar hardens against the cast iron skillet while this Old-Fashioned Skillet Cake is cooking, the crust gets a deliciously crunchy texture that you won't find on most modern cakes. That's what sets this simple cake recipe apart from most other vintage desserts. Cooking the cake in the skillet lends a whole different flavor profile to this treat that you won't get anywhere else. Also called plain cake, this classic dessert is great when served with fresh fruit and whipped cream.
