Could It Be Any Easier?

No, I think not.

And it's delicious, too.

You can take my word for it.

What you ask?

This

We had it for supper last night. Three thumbs up.

And what's easier than a skillet cake? I've mentioned the recipe that I found at Cherry Hill Cottage. This time I substituted a cup of walnuts for the fruit and used chocolate cake mix. It's quite good. And easy. And easy is what I'm looking for these days.





This is one of those cakes that gets even better with time. A generous dollop of whipped cream or some ice cream doesn't hurt either. Hope that you'll give it a try.

Have a great Wednesday!

  1. Oh.my.goodness! That looks sooo good.

    Chelsea made up some peanut butter Ritz covered in chocolate cookies.

    With one of the boys friends over they went very quickly!

    I'll show her this!
    Hopefully it will capture her fancy. I could make it but then she would likely make something else and we would have so many sweets around here...

  4. No, Aunt Amelia. I did NOT make the craft. Colleen @ Main Street Memories made the craft and I took the picture. Sorry for any confusion. ~Vee

  5. I have a tomato sauce recipe that tastes wonderful, but is rather labor intensive. This one sounds super simple and how nice to know that it tastes great too. I'll be trying it soon.

  8. Your skillet cake looks most yummy...even if it is chocolate. (smile) I'm one of those few people who don't go straight for the chocolate desserts. My cast iron skillet is reserved for fun recipes that can be baked in the oven...thanks for the idea.

  15. Delicious......my word for the year. Now I will need to take it more seriously and make a chocolate skillet cake. I don't know if it will age much though. Especially if there is ice cream in the house! ~Kathy

    P.S. I'll reflect further on the future of my journals in another blog post very soon.

If comments disappear, please don't fret. A simple "hi" will do. The platform surely needs some maintenance.
