eagle90 125 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Our troop has "inherited" a case (24) of Devil's Food Jiffy cake mixes. Does anyone have any different and unique recipes to use on a campout? We want to try something different than just chocolate cake. Thanks for the help! Dale Link to post Share on other sites
DanKroh 11 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Dutch oven "black forest cake": Use a liner in the dutch oven and some water under the liner to keep the cake moist. Use a can of cherry pie filling either on top of the cake batter, or put in half batter, filling, then other half of batter, I've tried it done both ways. Link to post Share on other sites
prairie 10 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Shoot, seeing as this is the High Adventure section I thought the question was about what to do in the desert....... Link to post Share on other sites
Sephrina 10 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Dutch oven berry cobbler - I would think this would work with a devils food cake mix as well as a yellow I've not actually made it either way, yet (just bought my first dutch oven this past Saturday) but have seen it made and the bite that was left for me was good Lined dutch oven with foil, used two bags (around 16oz I think) mixed berries thawed, poured dry cake mix over the top, and added 7up to moisten. We cooked with the coals from dinner while we ate dinner Link to post Share on other sites

kbandit 10 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Add some baking chips to the cake mix. Peanut butter, butterscotch, etc. The ones you would use in making cookies. Small candies. Think M&M's etc Link to post Share on other sites
packsaddle 753 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Where is Chefy when we need him? Me, I'd just add water and then use a straw. Link to post Share on other sites
prairie 10 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 This post is just what us overweight/undertall Scouters need. Think I will go make some popcorn. Link to post Share on other sites
asm 411 10 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 In response to Sephrina's posting: We make a similar cobler without the tin foil. The troop used to line the dutch ovens when we made this and other similar coblers but we found that the tin foil is not necessary. Actually, we found clean up is quicker and easier without the tin foil if the dutch oven is properly seasoned. With tin foil, if any of the juice does get under the lining it burns on really hard. If the whole desert burns on the bottom, which is rare, it just seems to peel away easily in one big chunk. The added benefit is nothing needs to go into the landfill. Dessert for thought ... er I meant food. Link to post Share on other sites
