I'm new so my apologies if these have already been posted :o

Upside-down Pineapple Cake

Couple of cleaned out tuna fish tins
Can of sliced pineapple
Pre-made white cake batter (I just make it at home, pour it into an empty water bottle and throw it in the cooler next to my buttermilk pancake batter mmm)
Coals


Put a pineapple slice and a little juice on the bottom of the tin (you can also add a cherry if you’d like), fill the tin half full of cake batter, place ½” above coals, use a toothpick to test if it’s done! Takes bout 15 mins. Younger kids love this because they can make there very own cake, and eat it to! Reuse the tins for individual brownies :- )

Banana Boats

Fat Banana
Fillings (chocolate chips, lil marshmallows, peanut butter chips, white choclate M&Ms Mix and Match!)
Aluminum Foil


Make a cut on the inside curve of the banana
Fill the banana with the goodies of your choice (watch out sometime kids (and some adults) scoop out some of the banana to fit more candy in! This makes to TOOO sweet, less is more.)
Wrap banana up in foil and place it ‘goodie side up’ over coals
Wait 2-3 mins, pull off and let cool before touching
Unwrap and eat with a spoon
Try to keep mess in foil for easy cleanup :)

mmmmmmmm I love pineapple upside cake.... I might try it and sprinkle a little brown sugar in the bottom with the pineapple....

Do you cover the can with foil or just leave it open? I guess if it's uncovered, then you can watch it as it rises.

Thanks !

I wonder if that would work in a dutch oven with foil cup cake cups?

You know I bet it would! Although I have yet to cook with a dutch oven :( but I'll have to get one soon to try out all the recipes on the forum.

Brown suger would be a great addition I'm sure! I'll try it next time and see how it goes.

To a tablespoon of brown sugar add 1/8 teaspoon of ginger/ dissolve all in the pineapple juice before you put some in the bottom of the cans ;) it'll taste good
