Vanilla Skillet Cake
A quick, simple vanilla cake baked in a skillet. Uses all-purpose flour and baking powder combined with butter, sugar, and egg. Vanilla extract swapped for almond extract for a nutty aroma. Milk replaced by half plain yogurt for moisture and tang. Baked around 35 minutes; tactile cues guide readiness. The method flips usual mixing and baking steps. Cake cools inverted atop the skillet, making for easy release. A technique swap aside, the fundamentals remain: creaming butter and sugar, folding, alternating wet and dry. A practical twist, avoiding specialized pans. Easy substitutions outlined, troubleshooting typical pitfalls like dense crumb or sticking. Reliable for unsweetened, simple dessert needs. Savory twist suggested for advanced cooks.
