Scratch Cake Is Extra Yummy Made In Cast Iron Pan

Earlier this week, one of our many Facebook friends mentioned she would really appreciate a scratch cake recipe to make in her cast iron cookware. Here it is! Hope you all enjoy it too. It’s on page 241 of our new cookbook Sizzle: Customer Favorites for Cast Iron Cookery. All the recipes in the book were contributed by our loyal customers, and it’s available online now. (The cookbook is in our Kidron store too: get one at a special discount during our Dutch Oven Gathering on Saturday, May 25!)
