New England Spider Cake image

This is a creamy, corny skillet preparation from New England, which has delighted roomfuls of people every time I've served it. So-called because of the veins created by the cream in its vortex, which separates the crumb during baking, this substantial one-skillet meal will get your kids to school happier than they've ever been, and you happy only if they've left some behind. As my recipe tester, Alice Thompson, responded: ''Spider cake rules! How has this escaped the culinary radar so far? Where has it been all my life?''

This cake was a disaster. It didn't rise properly and the frosting was too runny. I would not recommend this recipe.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I would recommend using a little less sugar in the frosting.

I'm not a fan of chocolate cake, but this cake was surprisingly good. The chocolate frosting was rich and creamy, and the cake was moist and flavorful.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't come out right. It was too dry and the frosting was too thick.
