Campfire Cake In An Orange Shell

I actually don't care for cake. I have to say though that this is one of the best cakes I've eaten. It is incredibly moist. You can really make this recipe your own. Add nuts, chocolate chips, rum, any cake mix really. Because it cooks in an orange it turns out very moist and creamy.
Do give this a try and have the kids help it's fun to make.

INGREDIENTS
One 8 oz. box of Jiffy Yellow Cake Mix
(or Use 1/2 recipe good for 3 oranges made from scratch)
6 Large Oranges
Water per box instructions
Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil
Wax Paper Optional
Ziploc Storage Bag
Knife and spoon





Mix dry ingredients into a plastic bag prior to packing for camp trip

Store in a cool place



AT CAMPSITE

Add water

If making from scratch then add egg & oil to bag

Do this just before cooking at campsite



Mix with your fingers right inside bag


Cut top off of oranges and scoop center out and eat


Nip tip off of baggie tip and empty into orange shell leaving room at top




Wrap in wax paper and foil with orange put back together


Cook in hot coals or grill for 20 minutes turning a few times
Or cook at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes

Camping was both good and well as usual a learning experience. I've come to decide a few things:   Bring what makes you comfortable without bringing too much I like my camp kitchen set up and don't need to buy anything bigger I don't like the laundry basket idea, I couldn't find anything and prefer the compartments of a duffel bag I'm not into rainy camping when it comes time to pack up. Everything is wet and dirt is stuck to it    Camping with my 5 year old daughter is awesome A truck would make camping easier Bears are fairly harmless but even though I know I don't have to worry about them my instinct says don't sleep the first night I camp. And it's always a thrill to see them. I love my $3 purchase from the thrift store it's very useful as a seat or side table Three days or more of camping makes packing up more tolerable We LOVE smoores with cookies Using a wine box to roll up newsprint for making a fire was a ...
