Banana Skillet Upside-Down Cake image

My grandmother gave me my first cast iron skillet, and I've been cooking and baking with it ever since. Sometimes I add drained maraschino cherries to this banana skillet dessert and serve it with a ice cream. -Terri Merritts, Nashville, Tennessee

This was the easiest cake I've ever made. My kids helped me mix the batter and they loved watching the cake cook in the skillet.

Not a huge fan. For some reason the middle didn't cook all the way through so I ended up throwing it away. :/

Easy and delicious! I didn't have any coconut on hand, but it was still great without it. A new family favorite!

This is a very unique recipe. I've never used a skillet to make a cake before, but it turned out great.

Amazing!! I will never go back to boxed cake mix - this was so simple to make and tasted so much better. Even my picky eater loved it.

This recipe was easy to follow, and the cake turned out great! I used a cast iron skillet and it worked perfectly. The bananas caramelized beautifully, and the cake was moist and fluffy.

This upside-down banana cake cooked evenly and was moist and delicious! A perfect way to use overly ripe bananas. Will definitely be making again!
