This week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection is Swedish Visiting Cake chosen by Nancy of The Dogs Eat the Crumbs. This is another one that has been on my want to make list since I picked up the book. It looked delicious and the idea of making it in a cast iron skillet sounded more exciting than a cake pan honestly.
The cake was delicious and so quick to put together. Any cake that takes less than 10 minutes to make (not including letting the butter cool. But that was hands off so...) is on the right track to being something good to me. I was worried that the almond extract would overpower the rest of the cake but it was just the right amount. I'm not sure if this cake was meant for breakfast or not, but I certainly enjoyed it at breakfast and lunch and dessert. It was a great cake for anytime of the day actually.
I thought about sharing this with my coworkers but I didn't. I know...it was selfish of me and probably not in the spirit of a 'visiting' cake but the cake was just too tasty to share. Maybe next time I'll be nice.
Another make again cake to add to the list. Thanks Nancy for the great pick!

Girl after my own heart. Who says cake means it can't be breakfast right? I mean. Technically it's a pan cake. ;)

Your cake looks great! I thought of giving part of the cake to my hubby's coworkers too, but in the end, I finished it all on my own! ;-)
this was a great cake for anytime of day. and i don't blame you for not sharing! :)
You can always "visit" the recipe again to share it with others. I kept the first one all for us, too. And it's totally appropriate for breakfast... and all those other times of day, too! Thanks for baking along with me this week.
looks great and i can totally understand why you kept it yourself :)
btw - did you know i get a prompt for a username/password every time i visit your blog?
Well, since it's such a simple cake, you can always bake up another one in no time the next time you feel like sharing! :o)
