Back in the late 1960's I did! Yes, in the olden days I had an oven that was so off it was hard to bake. I made best friends with my Sunbeen skillet that I received as a wedding gift. I made everything in it, including cake and cookies!!
I remember I made the best Pineapple upside down cake. I think I made a Jiffy cake mix with the pineapple juice from sliced pineapple, then melted butter, covered pan with brown sugar, placed sliced pineapple end to end, placed cherry in center and covered with the cake mix. I remember cooking it covered, then removing cover in the last stages. you let it sit for a while, and dug in/ I turned it onto a plate and it was beautiful.
I also made that chococake where you pour everything into the pan into little wells, then mix. It is a deep, moist, rich cake.
I also made hobo bread but cooked it in flat cans. You can bake a cake with a rack. The recipes are specific on how long and the temp to cook, But they work well
