Maple Berry Skillet Cake

Not a day goes by in my house when I don’t use a cast iron skillet.

I didn’t grow up in a cast iron household, but fortunately, my husband did. We inherited three cast iron pans from past generations in his family. One is a huge, 14-inch skillet that I can barely lift. The next one is a 9-inch skillet that gets used the most often. And then there’s the little guy, a 6-inch skillet which we use to heat up a small portion of leftovers in no time.

We don’t have a microwave, so things almost always get reheated in cast iron on the stovetop. These skillets heat up quickly and evenly, so they’re the perfect tool for this task. I also use these skillets in the oven. The even heating helps to ensure that baked goods come out just right.

This Maple Berry Skillet Cake is a delicious, fruity, rustic dessert. You could serve this versatile dish for breakfast or a snack, too. This moist, flavorful cake tastes best the day it’s baked. If you don’t plan to eat it all in the first 24 hours, freeze the extra pieces for another day.

• 1/4 cup mashed banana
• 1/3 cup milk whole milk or non-dairy milk

• In a large bowl, mix the maple syrup, mashed banana, milk, egg, melted oil or butter, and vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients to the large bowl and stir to combine.

Notes

You can substitute white whole wheat flour for the gluten-free flour if you prefer. Add an additional tablespoon of milk if you make this substitution. Adapted from this recipe
