Guys, Here's Why You Need to Make Dessert in a Cast-Iron Skillet

4 decadent and totally convincing recipes

We love dessert. Every meal should, ideally, end with something sweet. But it doesn't need to be a big fuss, and that's where these four decadent but simple cast-iron skillet dessert recipes come in. We've got cake. We've got cookies. We've got even more cake. Let's get baking, shall we?

The Key to Cleaning a Cast-Iron Pan


Easy Cherry Skillet Cake

A dessert for those who like their cake light, fresh and summery. (We use fresh cherries, but blueberries or strawberries would be delicious, too.)

Skillet Chocolate-chip Cookie

Because, honestly, what's better than one huge, gooey, basically deep-dish cookie?

Chocolate Skillet Cake

Make this whenever you want something rich, chocolaty and molten in the middle.

Broiler S'mores

Campfires are overrated, but s'mores are not (especially when you can make them indoors).
