We had cast iron skillets when I was young and there many times when I wish I had them now (like when The Pioneer Woman says one is absolutely essential for a certain recipe). But I have a ceramic stovetop and can't use one. But this cake looks so good and the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea that I'm going to try it in a regular cake pan.

Oh, but you have lovely tea parties also and granddaughters to enjoy them with. My grandsons would not appreciate a tea party! Yes, yes, yes, I love my cast iron skillet! It was given to me forty-three years ago as a wedding present already seasoned! It does makes the best cornbread. I will be trying this sugar cake in my skillet.

And any excuse, or no excuse at all, is reason enough for a tea party around here. Tea, freshly baked cookies (gotta love that frozen cookie dough) and fruit is the after school snack around here in the winter. Question: what if you don't have a hefty iron skillet? That recipe sounds so good. I'd love to try it, but, alas, no skillet. Dottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.com
