This simple cake is fast to put together, and the presentation is fun an rustic since it is made in a cast iron skillet. The skillet helps the cake to bake evenly and gives it a slightly thick, and delicious, crust around the edges. Â We melt the chocolate and butter right in the skillet, to save dishes.
Simple Skillet Chocolate Cake
4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup coconut oil + a pinch of salt
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup cocoa powder
2/3 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Coconut whipped cream and berries to top (optional) (recipe)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a 8-10 inch cast iron skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once the butter has started to melt, add in the chocolate and reduce heat to just over low.
In a  medium mixing bowl, mix eggs, vanilla, cocoa powder, honey, and sea salt until eggs are completely mixed and there are no more dry pockets of cocoa powder.
Use a pot holder to handle the skillet and combine the butter mixture from the skillet into the egg mixture in the mixing bowl using a fork or whisk.
Pour batter back in warm skillet. Bake for 25 minutes, or until center is slightly undercooked, but not liquid.
Allow to cool slightly and serve.

Oh yummy! I am so making this! I love recipes that are not only easy, but call for things I already have in the pantry. Perfect!
Thank you, it looks great and I would love to see other versions, esp for SCD.
What do you think would be possibilities? Maybe cocoa butter instead of chocolate and almond flour and some almond extract for cocoa.
Would love to have a version I could eat on SCD!!
all best,

If I were to use swerve instead of the honey how much fluid would I need to add do you think?
Can you suggest a substitute for eggs and honey– I have allergies to both
Made this the other day and it was delicious! Served with coconut whipped cream and strawberries.
