Campfire Cake Magic: A Recipe for Adventure
Ditch the Pans and Get Creative with Citrus
Imagine sinking your teeth into a rich, mocha-flavored cake, infused with the brightness of citrus, amidst the serene surroundings of a campsite. Sounds like a culinary fantasy? Think again! With this innovative recipe, you can bake individual cakes inside oranges, sans cake pans, and impress your fellow campers with your outdoor culinary skills.
The Magic Ingredients
- 10 oranges
- 1 recipe chocolate cake batter (box mix works too!)
- Aluminum foil
Prepare for Liftoff
Before you start, prepare your cake batter according to the recipe or box mix instructions. Cut the tops off the oranges and scoop out the pulp, making room for the chocolatey goodness.
Assemble and Ignite
Fill each orange three-quarters of the way with the cake batter, then replace the tops and wrap them in aluminum foil. Place the oranges directly onto the smoldering coals of the campfire, avoiding intense flames. Cook for about 30 minutes, turning once or twice, and get ready for a treat that’s out of this world!
Tips and Variations
For an added twist, try using different types of citrus fruits or flavorings in your cake batter. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, experiment with unique mix-ins like nuts or dried fruits. The possibilities are endless!
