Make Blueberry Skillet Cake if you have a lot of blueberries or want a delicious cake!
I remember when I graduated myself from making desserts from box to making desserts from scratch. The first I made from scratch was a basic Pound Cake Recipe. Nothing too complicated, right? Wrong! Somehow it was burnt on one half and perfect everywhere else. When I tried to take the cake out of the pan, some of it stayed stuck. It was a disaster. When I went to taste some of the cake that wasn’t burnt to a crisp, it really was…gross. I mean it was dry and just not good. I don’t know what I did wrong as I followed the recipe to the letter. Yet it still came out pretty bad. So, for those of you out there who follow recipes, especially baked goods, and it still comes out not looking as pretty as the picture or you swear you didn’t miss a step, us food bloggers have the same issues at times.
