[Old School Hound]

My mother used to make a plain yellow cake baked in a cast iron skillet. She served it with sweetened strawberries and whipped cream. That remains my favorite take on strawberry shortcake. It wasn't authentic, it was better.

Nothing like those concoctions whipped up by mom(or granny).   They were always better than anything you could buy. There really is something to that "Made With Love" saying. Both my mom and granny still cooked with cast iron skillets late into their lives.
