Cast Iron Skillet Brownie

This recipe intrigued me greatly, unfortunately I screwed up and did not let the pan cool enough before pouring the batter back into it to be backed, so it made the brownie dry.  Next time I'll remember :)

But here is the final result!  It was delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour 
• 1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 8 ounces chocolate chips or coarsely chopped chocolate

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, and salt.
2. In a medium cast iron skillet, bring butter and cream to a simmer over medium heat. Add chocolate; reduce to medium-low. Cook, stirring constantly, until chocolate has melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and let cool 5 minutes.
3. Add chocolate mixture to sugar mixture, whisking until blended (reserve skillet). Fold in flour mixture. Pour batter into [cooled] skillet.
4. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. (for a gooeyer brownie bake for about 35 minutes)
    Serve from skillet, warm or at room temperature.
