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.

🎵 Spider-cake, spider-cake,
Does whatever a spider-cake does! 🎵

I actually don't think I would much like this particular cake, as I am not a fan of custard. The top does look cool, though, and I'm very happy that you will get to enjoy it.
