Plantation Skillet Cake image

Another recipe from my favorite Reader's Digest cookbook (called Down Home Cooking). It's a breakfast dish that resembles a giant puffy pancake. The recipe originated in South Carolina in the 18th century, and this version is topped off with assorted fresh berries (and any berries can be used, such as raspberries, strawberries, blueberries).

I'm not a big fan of skillet cakes, but this one was pretty good. The glaze really made the cake.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier cake.

I had some trouble getting the cake to cook evenly. The bottom was a bit overdone while the top was still a little raw.
