I got the one with the sweetest ways

Behold the spider cake!





It does not resemble a spider. It looks—and tastes—like a sweet cornbread with a kind of double-layered custard floated on top, which would be the baked cream. [personal profile] spatch has found evidence suggesting the name actually comes from the three-legged cast-iron skillet known as a spider, although the upper surface did fissure attractively as it cooled. I love our new cast-iron skillet even if it has no legs at all. It can bake in an oven and we can make this dessert.

Oh hey. Here's a legless skillet with a spider on it!
