How to Bake a Cake in a Cast Iron Pan

It’s Valerie’s birthday this week so we wanted to show you how to bake a cake in a cast iron pan in our T@B trailer. As you probably know, there is no oven in the T@B so we had to improvise a bit. Instead we used cast iron pans as a dutch oven. Also, we typically prefer to cook outside but wanted to give you the full indoor cooking experience. Enjoy!

How to Bake a Cake in a Cast Iron Pan

 

Ingredients:

• cake mix (we prefer Funfetti)
• 3 eggs
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup water
• nonstick spray
• frosting of your choice

Directions:

1. Mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
2. Add mix to your cast iron pan*– we use Lodge because it comes pre-seasoned.
3. Cook on LOW. We learned this one the hard way.
4. Cook for apx 20 minutes. Try not to open the lid until you start smelling cake.
5. Stick a knife in the center-if it comes out clean it’s ready!
