I used my 13.25" cast iron skillet to bake a large carrot cake. I found the recipe online and adjusted the cooking length to accommodate the larger pan.
Oo. Carrot cake is my favorite cake. My wife always makes it for me on my birthday. I may have to request it done this way next time. Thanks!
Yeah it's pretty great. I don't have it too often so when I remember to make it doesn't last long. I made one last week and gave half of it away and finished the rest within a week. That one did have cream cheese frosting but I decided to have this one plain or with some powered sugar. I hope it goes well for you!
I will say that the first one I let cool for about 45 minutes and it came out of the pan easily. The second one I let cool for 15 minutes and it stuck with some of the bottom still attached to the pan. Most recipes I saw online said to let cool completely.
Good tip. Only problem is my birthday is in June, so I'll have to try to remember when it comes around! Thanks!
Nice! The biggest one I have is a 12". I should make more cakes in that, great idea.
