Brown Sugar and Walnut Skillet Cake

Brown Sugar and Walnut Skillet Cake

When I decided to make this cake, it took less time to make the batter than it took to preheat the oven. You use a whisk, not a mixer, so you can whip it up in little time and the cleanup is very easy. It's a delicious, dense cake, almost like a Blondie.
