Valentine’s Day will be here next week, and if you’re looking for a real showstopper of a dessert, this is it! My warm Chocolate Skillet Cake is truly flexible depending on how large or small your Valentine’s Day dinner may be.
You can make it in a mini 6″ Lodge Cast-Iron Skillet to serve as a shared dessert for two.
You can find one in my Amazon Shop (this link goes to Amazon where I am an affiliate partner)
It’s so rich and chocolatey that really 1 cake is all you need 🙂 It’s also so easy it’s great anytime of year if you just want to make a mini cake and have it all to yourself! That’s a great idea too!
Or if you have a crowd to feed it also works as a large skillet cake in a 10″ cast-iron skillet. You can find one in my Amazon Shop (this link goes to Amazon where I am an affiliate partner)
It’s such a fun, casual way to serve a fantastic dessert. Set it out with a large serving spoon and let everyone help themselves.
All they have to do is spoon out some cake, plop on the ice cream, and sail off to chocolate heaven! Easy peasy!
