Thanks to you all for your suggestions. I will definitely look at the website. My grand mother and great aunts used cast iron skillets as well to bake cakes but they are no longer with us and of course at the time I didnt think to ask. I will try it and let you know how it goes. I think cooking it at a lower heat and for less time is probably the answer because even after you take it out of the oven, it is still cooking with cast iron.
Have a blessed day! I am new to the baking thing.... does anybody have a recipie for a really good peach cobbler? --- In [email protected], "Jennifer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > My granny would never use anything but her cast iron skillets.She > believed in using her cast iron skillets for everything.LOL..She made > the best cakes ever.Of course not only cakes,but everything she cooked > was the best. > > Hugs,Jenn > > > > > > > --- In [email protected], playinwithsugar@ wrote: > > > > Many, many years ago, all they had to cook or bake in was cast iron. > The > > cakes baked back then were pound cakes, sponges/genoise, and > fruitcakes, which > > are much denser than what is considered a traditional American cake > today. > > > > My general thought is that you would not bake it as long, or at as > high a > > temperature, because of the way cast iron retains heat. > > > > A good place to start researching on this would be here: > > > > _http://www.foodtimeline.org/_ (http://www.foodtimeline.org/) > > > > If you find anything on this subject here, please let us know. > > > > Theresa > > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > Yahoo!
