Skillet Cake, Delicious Frosting, and Autumn Sprinkles.

 Here's another cooking demonstration for all you ladies. This simple cake is done licky-split, and is soooo moist and delicious! One factor is that you "need" a iron skillet, though I have never tried it in another type before. So if you do, then let me know :) First you start by putting your skillet on med-high heat and drop in 1/2 stick of butter.
 Next pour in a 1/4 cup of oil.
 2 tablespoons of coco powder.

 And last a 1/2 cup of water.
 Whisk it all together, and bring it to a bubbling boil.
 Take it off the heat and add in 1 cup of flour
 A couple shakes of salt
 1/2 tsp of baking soda.
 1 cup of sugar. I know bad bad, too much sugar. I think I only did 3/4 cup of sugar and you couldn't tell a difference.
 Next whisk it together as best as you can. It will result in a crumbly and very uncake-like mixture.

 Not to worry, add in 1 egg, and 1/2 tsp of Vanilla extract.
 And to bring it all together a 1/4 cup of buttermilk. Now not too many people have buttermilk lying around, and so not to worry. An easy substitute is your amount using regular milk and a tsp or so of vinegar.
 Mix it all together!!!!!!
 Much better, now it looks like chocolate cake!

 My tools used for this cooking tutorial.
 Put it in the oven at 350' for 15-20 minutes.
 While the cake is cooking, make your frosting. In a saucepan put in 1/2 stick of butter
 Pour in 3-4 tablespoons of milk ( depending on your consistency)
 2 tablespoons of coco.
 Stir it all together and bring it to a lovely boil.
 Take it off the heat and add in 2 cups of powdered sugar.

 I crushed up some walnuts/pecans about 1/2 cup and put that in as well. Lastly a 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. Mix it all together, and when your cake comes out pour it on while its still hot!
 Soooooo yummy!!!!! This is one of those must-try cakes!!!! It serves my entire family, and that's 10 in all!
I put on some sprinkles just for show :) Hope you'll try it!!! Remember, it's easy, fool-proof, delicious, and moist!!!!http://willowbirdbaking.com/2012/04/25/gooey-chocolate-skillet-cake-ice-cream-sundae Here's the link for the recipe!
