Chocolate Skillet Cake with Ice Cream


Ingredients:


1 cup flour


1/2 teaspoon baking soda


1 cup sugar


dash salt


1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter


1/4 cup vegetable oil


2 tablespoons cocoa powder


1/2 cup water


1/4 cup buttermilk


1 egg


1/2 teaspoon vanilla


Frosting Ingredients:


1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter


2 tablespoons cocoa


3-4 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)


1/2 cup pecans, chopped


2 cups powdered sugar


1/2 teaspoon vanilla


ice cream (for serving)


caramel sauce (for serving; this one is delicious!)


whipped cream (for serving)


Directions:


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt together and set aside.


In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, bring the butter, vegetable oil, cocoa powder, and water to a boil. Remove it from the heat and whisk in the dry ingredients well. Mix in the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla. Bake the skillet cake at 350 degrees F for about 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.


While the cake starts to cool, make the frosting. In a medium saucepan, bring the butter, cocoa, and milk to a boil. Remove them from heat and add the icing sugar, nuts, and vanilla. Stir to combine. Pour over the warm cake, spread with a spatula, and serve with vanilla bean ice cream, caramel sauce, and whipped cream.
