Dessert over the Campfire

Dessert over the Campfire

As much as we love making s’mores over the campfire, there are so many more delicious campfire desserts to try, like this sweet cake.  All you need is a cast iron Dutch oven.

Camp Dutch Oven Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

Rorie (Trempealeau, WI)

Pan Used: Camp Dutch Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix (plus the ingredients needed to make it)

  • 1–20 oz. can pineapple slices

  • Maraschino cherries

  • 1 C. brown sugar

  • 1 1/2 C. pineapple juice and water mix

  • 1/2 C. butter

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a Dutch oven. Add sugar, then pineapple, placing a cherry in the center and in any gap between pineapple slices.

  2. Make the cake mix as directed and pour over pineapple. Cover Dutch oven and bake using 10 to 12 briquettes on the bottom and 14 to 16 of the briquettes on top for 45 minutes or until top of cake springs back when touched.

  4. To remove cake, cut around sides and insert a paper plate, then flip the oven, allowing the cake to slide out onto the paper plate.
