    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??

  5. 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
