This was a fun little Saturday experiment.
An easy and delicious peach & olive oil skillet cake that gives an interesting rustic feels, like something your grand mother would have made and put on the table. I’ve debated serving it inside the skillet itself but it looks so much better reversed in the plate. The cake batter comes out very light as airy while the subtle yet noticeable aroma of the olive oil is a wonderful pairing with the peaches and the brown sugar.
Hope you get to try this.
