Chocolate Skillet Cake & Ice Cream is a delicious dessert that combines the warm, gooey goodness of a chocolate cake with a scoop of your favorite ice cream. Here’s a recipe to make this indulgent treat:
Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Skillet Cake:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup hot water
For Serving:
- Your favorite ice cream flavor
- Chocolate syrup (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well combined.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir until the batter is smooth.
- Finally, pour in the hot water and mix until the batter is uniform. The batter will be quite thin, but that’s okay.
- Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe skillet of similar size. If you don’t have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a 10-inch round cake pan.
- Pour the cake batter into the skillet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. It’s best served warm.
- To serve, scoop a portion of the warm chocolate skillet cake onto a plate or in a bowl. Top it with a generous scoop of your favorite ice cream.
- Optionally, drizzle some chocolate syrup over the cake and ice cream and add a dollop of whipped cream.
- Enjoy your Chocolate Skillet Cake & Ice Cream while it’s warm and gooey.
This dessert is the perfect combination of warm, fudgy cake and cold, creamy ice cream – a delightful treat for chocolate lovers.
