How to Bake a Cake Inside a Hollowed Orange over a Campfire
Baking a cake inside a hollowed orange over a campfire can be a fun and unique outdoor cooking experience. Here are the steps you can follow to bake a cake inside a hollowed orange over a campfire:
Materials: - Oranges (one per cake) - Boxed cake mix (with necessary ingredients such as eggs, oil, and water) - A mixing bowl - A spoon - Aluminum foil - Campfire or hot coals
Instructions:
1. Cut off the top of each orange, about 1/3 from the top. Set the tops aside.
2. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the flesh of the oranges, being careful not to puncture the skin or tear the orange. Save the orange flesh and juice for a snack or drink.
3. Prepare the cake mix according to the instructions on the box, making sure to mix it thoroughly in a bowl.
4. Spoon the cake batter into each of the hollowed oranges, filling them about 2/3 of the way full.
5. Replace the orange tops onto each orange and wrap them tightly with aluminum foil.
6. Place the wrapped oranges onto the hot coals or over the campfire, making sure they are stable and won't tip over.
7. Cook the oranges for approximately 20-30 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure they cook evenly. The cakes are done when a toothpick or knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
8. Remove the oranges from the campfire and carefully unwrap them. Use a spoon to scoop out the cake from the orange, being careful not to damage the cake or skin.
9. Serve the cake inside the hollowed orange skin, topped with any desired toppings or frosting.
Enjoy your unique and delicious campfire dessert!
