Brown Sugar & Walnut Skillet Cake
Brown Sugar & Walnut Skillet Cake
When I decided to make this cake, it took less time to make the batter than it took to preheat the oven. You use a whisk to make it, not a mixer, which means you can whip it up in little time and the cleanup is very easy. It’s a delicious, dense cake – almost like a Blondie.
