SWEET CHERRY SKILLET CAKE

June 21, 2018 By Kristin No Comments

Picking fresh fruit is hands down one of my favorite summertime activities … the winters are long, and the fruit in this area is almost all imported or shipped from quite a ways away, except in the summer, when there’s a short-term abundance of fresh cherries, peaches, berries, and apples … and our family takes full advantage of all that limited-time freshness!

Plus, since we’re essentially city dwellers, well, for another week at least, and have been for nearly a decade now (which is so against every fiber of my being), anytime we get a chance to get the girls outside in a country setting, we seize it.

I think they each ate their own weight in cherries while we were picking … but that’s half the fun, right?

Last weekend I used a bunch of those sweet little beauties to make this super-easy skillet cake, perfect for brunch or to toss in right before dinner so it’s warm and ready (with vanilla ice cream) for dessert!

Prep and baking time is roughly an hour, and it would be less if not for the need to pit all the cherries … so if you’re short on time, almost any other fruit would be a great stand in … blueberries or strawberries would be a fantastic swap for the cherries!

I hope you enjoy!

yours,  K

__________________________________________________

Ingredients

Skillet (roughly 9 inches, 10 servings)

2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature

6 tablespoons butter, melted

1 cup sugar, divided

1 egg

1 egg yolk

1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1½ cups all-purpose flour

Âľ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

Âľ cup whole milk

1½ cups cherries, halved and pitted

Confectioners’ sugar, for serving

______________________________________________________

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with the 2 tablespoons of room-temperature butter.

2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with Âľ cup of the sugar to combine. Add the egg and egg yolk; mix to combine. Whisk in the vanilla extract.

3. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix to combine. Add the milk and whisk until the batter is thick and smooth.

4. In a separate bowl, toss the remaining ÂĽ cup sugar with the cherries and then set aside.

5. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle the cherries on top.

6. Bake the cake until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before cutting and serving. Dust the cooled cake with the confectioners’ sugar.

Enjoy!

And here’s a perfect pin to keep on your own Pinterest recipe board so you can always find it!

Another beautiful “weed” … I remember making Another beautiful “weed” … I remember making flower crowns from dandelions as a child … so we made flower crowns today from whatever we could find 🌾 We planted our flower garden very late this year, so we’re still waiting on blooms … there’s beauty in patience, in the unexpected, and even in moments of tragedy. You just have to look to find it 💛 #prayersforuvalde

What gift do you most remember receiving as a kid? What gift do you most remember receiving as a kid?  Was it a toy or an experience?  Was it something you know the giver put some time or thought into?  Kids notice too!  While sometimes a quick toy from Target is necessary, I always encourage Livi and Emme to come up with some sort of experiential gift for their friends. They learn the importance of thoughtfulness, and their friends get to learn a new skill rather than add another toy to the pile!  If there’s a kiddo in your life who loves to paint, this gift is a hit 🎨 … purchase a stack of stretched canvases, paint brush set, and paints. Use some twine to tie it all together!  You can print out the cover to this online acrylic painting tutorial here: https://pin.it/6NGlpSD … I also took a photo of the paint brush stroke guide included with the paintbrush set and included it as well.  For a special touch, purchase a small pouch for the paint and use @canva (free!) to create a personalized name tag 💛 #giftsforkids … Essential 25 Lookbook Look No. 3 coming tomorrow!
