I made one last week after your encouragement. You were right: it was easy, and oh so tasty. In fact, it was so popular I have been forced to make another one, only days later. Let them eat cake!

I realize it's not exactly your favorite pasttime. You bake it in the skillet. If you don't have the right size oven-proof skillet, just melt the butter and sugar together in a saucepan, then pour it into a cake pan. Then arrange the fruit in the bottom of your cake pan, and follow the recipe from there. Good luck! Sari, I would consider it a monumental victory if inspired you to cook.

You hit it right on with the feelings of first day of kindergarden- I felt the same way sending Dyllon off last week. This cake sounds awesome, and easy enough even for me to try- but I don't understand the skillet/pan thing. After you pour the cake batter onto the fruit do you move it all into a cake pan and put in the oven? Or do you just cook it on the stove in a skillet? You have to excuse my ineptness at cooking, but I am a beginner, as you know. Sari HI Gillian,

For us that was more traumatic than the first day of kindergarten because it was for ALL DAY. She and I were the last moms standing outside the classroom door, reluctant to walk back home leaving the two of you behind. Another apron string cut. sigh.

I don't want my little barnacle to ever un-barnacle. Did he like his first day? Let's get together soon so you can tell me all about it. But not this week, as we are currently contagious with a very nasty virus that I shall not name in this public forum. xo to you and william. oh, and yeah, I do want to make that yummy cake, too.

I like the vanilla yogurt idea. I got facebook message that another friend is trying it with blackberries. I suspect that cake might not win any beauty contests, but I bet it tastes great.

In all of the first-day-of-school drama you forgot to mention that this cake is friggin' delicious. Not kidding. It is hands down the best desert I have ever had. In the spirit of you, I changed the recipe slightly. I used regular sugar instead of brown sugar simply because I didn't have any brown sugar. I fretted that I would have a layer of crusty sugar, but it dissolved fine. Taking a WILD diversion from the recipe, I used peaches instead of nectarines, but I peeled the peaches. Last, I used vanilla yogurt and cut the sugar in the cake by about 1/4 cup. It was sublime. I initially thought that vanilla ice cream would be good too, but the cake is fairly sweet, like you said, and I would put in a vote for heavy cream instead of ice cream. What is happening to me? I am completely hooked on this whole process. I cook for a living and the LAST thing I want to do at night is tackle a new recipe. However, when I have free time I check in, hoping for a new posting. You have got me. I'm yours. Forever and hopelessly yours. All of this legal talk made me sooo hungry that I decided to make the cake.
