Hi Laura, I'm an avid follower of yours on FB and love your posts. (I think we met at a Blog Conference in Raleigh NC) Thank you for this recipe, we use cast iron for all our cooking. Would never of thought to bake a Cake in it. Love it!! Wondering if…may sound a little weird but – do you think if I added crumbled 'Canadian Bacon it would 'funk it out??
Looks so delicious! I have a question…do you have a glass-topped stove? I'm kind of afraid to use a cast iron skillet on mine.

????? you bake it in the OVEN, BUT she doesn't tell us how long to bake it?????
I love pineapple upside down cake, but I've never tried it in a cast iron skillet! This looks delicious!
Your cake looks amazing! I cannot wait to try out this recipe. I am slowly switching all of my pans over to cast iron. I do not have a skillet that size yet. Yet another reason for that to be my next purchase. Your photos are beautiful by the way! Visiting from the North End Loft's Friday Finds. ~ Jamie
I love cooking in cast iron pots and pans. It gives the food better flavor and bakes cake perfectly.
