Gooey and Rich: The Perfect Skillet Cake Recipe

This Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake is not only a delight to eat but also simple to make. Here are some tips to ensure your cake turns out perfectly every time.

Pro Tips for a Perfect Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake:

1. Properly Prepare the Skillet: Grease your cast iron skillet well to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients Separately: Combining all dry ingredients before adding to the wet mixture helps avoid clumps and ensures even distribution of the cocoa and baking soda.
3. Don’t Overmix: Stir the batter just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender and moist.
4. Check Doneness Properly: Use a toothpick to test if the cake is ready. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
5. Add Toppings While Hot: Drizzle caramel and sprinkle pecans while the cake is hot, allowing the toppings to meld slightly with the warm cake.
