This cake is delicious and beautiful; I love how it’s served in a cast-iron skillet. Simple and rustic and beautiful. You can use a regular loaf pan to make this cake too if you prefer. I called my mom soon after making this cake to tell her how good it was. She wanted to make something for dessert that evening, so I emailed her the recipe, and she made a delicious dark chocolate pear and ginger loaf because she didn’t have any cranberries on hand (everyone loved it!). You can use any fruit in place of the cranberries – I’m looking forward to experimenting with different flavors. I’ve also come up with a chocolate rose-flavored skillet cake, and that’s such a great combination too! I think you’ll love the tart flavor of cranberries combined with honey, orange, and dark chocolate. I know many folks are looking to eat healthier in the new year, and while this cranberry dark chocolate cake is a dessert, it’s a much healthier option than many other sweets out there. You can have your cake, and eat it too 🙂 Just not too much, and not all the time. Like this recipe? Pin it to your favorite Pinterest board now so you will remember to make it later!
