How to Make New England Spider Cake
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously grease a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with butter or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, gently fold in the cheddar cheese and green onions.
Pour the batter into the prepared cast-iron skillet and spread evenly.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
Let the Spider Cake cool in the skillet for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
