Peach Upside Down Cake Cast Iron Skillet. Bakers have been cooking cakes upside-down in cast-iron skillets and flipping them out onto a serving platter for hundreds of years but it wasnt until the mid-1800s that they got the name spider cakes because the cast-iron skillets were known as spiders. Drop the batter in large dollops over the peaches in the skillet then use an offset spatula to gently smooth it out being careful not to disturb the peaches.
In a 9-inch cast-iron skillet combine 13 cup of the sugar with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Sift together flour baking powder and baking soda. Butter the sides of a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
