Skillet Carrot Cake Skillet Carrot Cake is quick and easy but with all the delicious flavor and texture of a regular carrot cake. I love my cast iron pans and am a firm believer that things taste better when they have been cooked in cast iron. Several years ago I took over my husband’s camping cast iron pans he stored in the garage and now they reside permanently in my kitchen. Carrot Cake is one of my husband’s favorites and with Easter coming soon, you might want to consider a skillet carrot cake for Easter dessert. It’s a quicker and easier version of the traditional layered and frosted carrot cake. You get all the great flavor and texture of a carrot cake in less time. My favorite part of a carrot cake is all that delicious cream cheese frosting and this carrot cake has plenty of it! The addition of crushed pineapple, walnuts and coconut along with carrots create the amazing texture and flavor. This skillet carrot cake can also be made at the last minute and eaten right out of the pan! You don’t have all the fuss and mess of a frosted, layered cake. Some of my other favorite skillet desserts are Skillet S’mores and Chocolate, Nutella and Toffee Skillet Brownie.
