Camping Recipes: Course: Cakes

Camping Cakes
A camping recipe from Bruce and Dorothy. I almost didn't share this. This recipe has evolved from an old Betty Crocker cookbook. I changed a few things and have been taking them camping for 20 years or so. My grown up kids still ask me to make them when they come over. Try them at home a few times first and get comfortable with the recipe. I always mix up a dry batch and take them in an air tight bowl when we camp.

Carrot Cake
A camping recipe from Kay Reynolds. Watch out for the cake sheriff. This recipe is a great company pleaser. Best when cooked in a Dutch oven. I call this my Cherokee Ridge Pioneer Carrot Cake.

Cherry Upside Down Cake
A camping recipe from Neilzp. This is an elegant dessert that will delight any age of campers. Even young children can help make this, all but the turning the cake over when done. If really camping out in the rough, this is a tummy pleaser and eye opener.

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
A camping recipe from Debe. Other cake mixes can be used. We tried a confetti mix, and it was great.

Strawberry Delight
A camping recipe from Vickie. You can use any type of berries that you want. I use sugar-free cake, nonfat yogurt, and whipped cream. Everybody loves it.
