Skillet Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

– 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
– 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. **Prepare the Batter:**
– In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
– In another bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
– Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

2. **Cook the Cake:**
– Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil.
– Pour the batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly.
– Cover the skillet with a lid to trap the steam. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the top is set and the edges pull away slightly from the sides of the skillet.

3. **Finish Cooking:**
– Carefully flip the cake using a spatula or plate. Cook for an additional 5 minutes on the other side to ensure it’s cooked through.

4. **Serve:**
– Once cooked, remove the cake from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing.
– Serve warm, topped with your favorite toppings like butter, honey, or fresh fruit.

This recipe should yield a soft and moist cake cooked entirely on the stovetop, similar to what you might achieve with an oven. Let me know if you’d like any variations or additional tips!
