Blueberry Muffin Skillet Cake
Think of this as the perfect excuse for having cake for breakfast.
This blueberry muffin cake is supposed to be baked in a 10-inch cast iron skillet, which makes a beautiful presentation. I don't have the skillet, but I do have an enameled cast iron 9-inch square pan, which worked perfectly. If you don't have cast iron, a 9-inch square cake pan will work just fine.
This cake is super moist with a crispy sugary crust on top. The combination of the lemon zest and almond extract in the cake goes so well with the blueberries.
