"Another one I found in the Nebraska Kitchens Cookbook. Have fun and experiment with different fruits. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, any heavy pan will do."

Great recipe! I made this cake this evening and it was super delicious! The only thing I did different was add some cinnamon with the brown sugar, yum!

I didn't think a cast iron cake could taste so good. We will definitely be making this again.
