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.

Mmmm, that is one tasty looking concoction.

Skillet baking creates marvelous crust.

My gluten-free cornbread also has vegan options, in happy contemplation of the day you can host not-you for dinner
