Why has nobody ever told me that you can bake a cake inside of an orange?! Seriously, I've lived 35 years without this knowledge.
This idea is brilliant. Not to mention perfect for camping. Which is why I came across this idea...because I am going to Girls' Camp with our church in a few weeks and we had to certify the girls in outdoor cooking last night.
We made Dutch oven pizzas (thanks to our amazingly-talented-camp-cook, Tylene) and then we made these little cakes. You bake them in the campfire! How much easier could this be? I love everything about this.

Here's what you need:
medium-large navel oranges yellow cake mix 1 cup water 3 eggs 1/3 cup oil heavy duty foil
*Mix cake mix with water, eggs and oil and stir well until the lumps are gone. Set aside. Wash your oranges. Cut the top off (about 1/2 inch). Scoop out all the middle like a pumpkin. Now you have a hollow orange-bowl. Spoon cake mix into the orange until it's 3/4 full. Put the top back on and wrap tightly in the heavy duty foil. Make sure you know where the top is. Place in the hot coals of a campfire (not the flames). Let cook for 15-20 minutes. Remove from fire with tongs and let cool for a minute before unwrapping and enjoying with a spoon. The cake is really moist and yummy with a hint of orange flavor.
*I'm dying to try this with different flavored cake mixes and different citrus. Endless possibilities. |

I guess you just need to go camping more! ha ha :) I've only had them once or twice a long time ago. I'll have to make them this summer. Thanks for the recipe!
