This New England Spider Cake is my newest favorite. When I first made this cake, this instantly blew me away. It’s a unique, rustic, and very unexpected cake that is excellent for any occasion. New England Spider Cake is a thick, sweet cornmeal-topped cake with cream. This cake is baked in a hot skillet. And I have never tried baking in a skillet before! This delicious cake can be eaten any time of the day. I love this for breakfast, snacks, and as an after-meal dessert. The best part about this cake is you do not need a long list of ingredients. Just simple ones that you can already find in your pantry. This requires only ten minutes to prep. Pop this in the oven, and in under an hour you can devour this winner dessert! Enjoy a slice (even more!) and serve with apple syrup.
