So Jeanne is actually two inches taller than me... I'm just sitting up higher :)
As I said Monday, we made cake on our camping trip, and it was delicious!! Don't get me wrong, it was boxed cake mix, I'm not THAT crazy to lug all of those ingredients along. Only half crazy :) The inspiration came from the blog ljcfyi, and it's the best idea ever. )PS don't you love the total vintage tin camping plate?? It's from my camping days as a kid in the 80's!
Take 4 oranges and cut off the tops, scoop out the innards. NOTE: this will cause every mosquito in the area to dive bomb you... so do it quick and clean up quick! Citranella candles also help.
Next... remember to bring a can opener... or a swiss army knife... open your 15 once can of pumpkin.
Mix said can of pumpkin with 1/2 a box of chocolate cake mix.
Spoon into your orange shells (fill about 3/4 of the way up) and wrap in tin foil.
Place into fire nestled up to all the nice warm embers for 20 minutes. Rotate every so often so they cook evenly.
Remove from embers and let cool a little, and then enjoy!!
The cake was super moist and had an amazing orange flavor infused into it. I'm totally making these again!
