Description
Dive into the comforting embrace of this Apple Skillet Cake, a perfect blend of rustic charm and sweet, tender flavors. Baked in a cast iron skillet, this cake offers a delightful crust with a soft, moist interior, highlighted by a subtle hint of your favorite whiskey or brandy.
Ingredients
140 g all-purpose flour
¾ tsp baking powder
½ tsp fine sea salt
2 large eggs
180 g granulated sugar
45 ml whiskey, bourbon, Cognac, or apple brandy
½ tsp vanilla extract
75 ml buttermilk
30 g turbinado sugar
Powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until fluffy. Mix in your choice of alcohol and vanilla extract.
Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet, alternating with buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
Pour batter into the skillet, sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar, and serve warm.
Notes
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the alcohol with apple juice or additional buttermilk. Adding a layer of thinly sliced apples or pears at the bottom of the skillet before pouring in the batter can introduce a delightful twist to the texture and flavor.
