I wasn't certain if you meant 1) How to bake a pancake or 2)How to bake a cake in a pan, so I'm answering both :-)
1)"German Baked Pancake
2 to 4 servings, depending on accompaniments
A relative of both popovers and Yorkshire pudding, GBP (as it was affectionately known in-house) is just one of the irresistible recipes which, once you taste it, will become part of your culinary lexicon forever.
It's not original to us by any means --- GBP's have been around forever. Sometimes they're made in smaller skillets, in which case GBP.jpg (135102 bytes) they're called "Dutch Babies." (Both German and Dutch guests, however, have told us that they'd never seen them in the home countries, so who knows?) You can see a finished GBP, in all its glory, at left, in what was once Dairy Hollow's Tulip Room. The one pictured is filled with sautéed apples, but any fruit, or even just lemon and powdered sugar, is plenty satisfying.
We always gave out the recipe cheerfully and over the 18 years of Dairy Hollow House's existence, countless guests told us it has become a regular part of their weekend breakfast routine. And oh, the agonized phone calls we'd receive from anguished guests who've lost their copy of the recipe! Countless times we've read it over the phone to a guest, presumably scribbling away madly on the other end of the line --- and since the advent of the fax, of course GBP has traveled that way, too... and now over the Net.
Via any communication medium, it's still just plain delicious.
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
3/4 cup unbleached white flour
3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla or lemon extract
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1. Preheat oven to 450º.
2. Beat together eggs, flour, milk, salt, extract. When very smooth, set aside while you melt the butter in a 12-inch heavy cast-iron skillet.
3. When skillet is quite hot, pour in batter and (using potholders) put skillet in oven.
4. Bake for 15 minutes at 450º; lower oven temperature to 350º and bake for another 10 minutes. It will have puffed dramatically but will soon settle down a bit, so show it to your guests quickly so they can exclaim with delight. Also, the edges end up higher than the middle, making a crater perfect for any toppings of fresh or sauteed fruit or this simple fix:
Lemon Topping: When pancake is done, squeeze over it juice of 1/2 lemon and sprinkle amply with sifted powdered sugar to taste. Garnish with lemon twist.
NOTE: some enjoy GBP hot from the oven with a warm fruit filling and a scoop of ice cream, for dessert.

Go to the grocery and get a box of Betty Crocker or Pillsbury Cake Mix. It can't be easier than that. I would recommend getting a kind without pudding or with very little pudding. I don't like them and they seem to break apart easier.
The recipes on the box say to line your cake pan with flour, but I use Pam Spray (as I don't have flour, I live in a tiny apartment with no room.) My cakes come out fine. Just make sure they cool before you try to remove them!

To bake it you probably put the batter on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven instead of cooking it on a grill.
