Some of my
favorites are:
- chocolate
cake over cherry pie filling
- spice
cake over peaches
- spice
cake over apples
To
make your cake, use packaged
cake mix and either canned or
fresh sweetened fruit or canned
pie filling. Begin by
putting the fruit in the bottom
of the Dutch oven and sprinkle the
dry cake mix over the top of the
fruit. Pour enough 7up (or other
lemon lime soda) over the top to
moisten the mix a little [about
1/2 can] and poke it around some
to begin. Six coals on the
bottom and twelve on top should
be about right to cook this in
45 minutes or so. As it
begins to cook, you will see the moisture
begin to come up through the
cake mix. If you end up
with some dry spots add a little
more 7up. You will end up
with more of a cobbler than a
cake, but very few leftovers. Any
time you cook sugar it will
probably stick to your Dutch
oven. Foil lining the oven
will somewhat prevent this, but
the foil is more trouble than
good, so to clean your oven
after cooking anything sticky,
just boil it out.
