Instructions

Preheat oven to 350* F. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Butter and flour a 10-inch skillet.

Mix 6 Tbs. with the sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time until incorporated, and then mix in extracts.

Mix in half the flour and half the buttermilk, and then repeat with remaining ingredients. Fold in 2/3 c. almonds.

Melt remaining 4 Tbs. butter. Stir in brown sugar, and mix with blueberries. Spread in pan, and sprinkle remaining almonds over the blueberries. Cover with the cake batter. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.

Cool, flip onto a plate, and serve with cream or ice cream.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Blueberry Suspension Technique 🫐
Toss fresh blueberries in a light coating of flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the skillet cake.
Almond Extract Intensity 🥄
Use almond extract sparingly, as it's extremely potent - just a few drops can elevate the entire cake's flavor profile without overwhelming the other ingredients.
Cast Iron Perfection 🍳
Ensure your cast iron skillet is well-seasoned and preheated before pouring the batter to achieve a crispy, golden-brown exterior on the cake.
Toasting Almonds Hack 🥜
Quickly toast sliced almonds in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding to the top of the cake to enhance their nutty flavor and create a more complex texture.
Moisture-Locking Technique 💧
Use room temperature buttermilk and eggs to ensure a more even mix and create a more tender, moist cake with superior crumb structure.
