New England Spider Cake image

This is a creamy, corny skillet preparation from New England, which has delighted roomfuls of people every time I've served it. So-called because of the veins created by the cream in its vortex, which separates the crumb during baking, this substantial one-skillet meal will get your kids to school happier than they've ever been, and you happy only if they've left some behind. As my recipe tester, Alice Thompson, responded: ''Spider cake rules! How has this escaped the culinary radar so far? Where has it been all my life?''

I'm not a big fan of cream cheese frosting, but I really liked the frosting on this cake. It was light and fluffy, and it didn't overpower the cake.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I expected. It was still good, but not as good as it could have been.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good.

This cake was a bit dry, but the frosting helped to make up for it. I'll try adding some extra moisture to the cake batter next time.
