Ayesha Curry, the cookbook author and wife of basketball star Stephen Curry, has shared a simple yet delicious dessert recipe that is perfect for those short on time. Her cast-iron fruit cake uses a box of yellow cake mix as a base, making it almost impossible to mess up.
In her cookbook 'The Seasoned Life', Curry explains that while she has a sweet tooth, she prefers desserts that are easy to prepare. This recipe, which she describes as a 'cheater recipe', is ideal for when you need a quick dessert without compromising on taste.
The finished cake resembles an upside-down cake served right-side up. To make it, prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions. In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, melt butter and stir in brown sugar until dissolved. Add berries, pineapple, and thyme, cooking until the sugar bubbles. Remove from heat, pour the batter over the fruit mixture, and bake for about 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Curry recommends serving the cake warm, scooped directly from the pan, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The recipe is featured in her book, which was published in 2016 by Voracious, an imprint of Little, Brown and Company.
