CAMPFIRE ORANGE CAKE
When I was a child, my mother made orange cake every time we went camping. She would scoop out an orange, fill it with (I think) white jiffy cake mix, wrap it in foil and put it it the campfire to bake. They were wonderful!

Steps:
- You could probably do this with any cake mix. Foil is nice (keeps ash out), but apparently not necessary unless you are worried about burning the bottom of the orange cups. Follow the directions on the package for the cake batter and do like below:.
- Gingerbread Cups Halve and clean inside of oranges out. Prepare a package of gingerbread mix, fill cups 3/4 full.
- Place cups in a bed of coals, not too hot. Bake slowly, turning around from time to time.

CAMPFIRE ORANGE RIND CAKE
In the LDS Church, every summer the young woman go to camp for about 5 days. In some campgrounds, there were meals prepared for us, but in the year that I was 16 we learned to make our own food in the campfire. Now when we go camping with my young family, it is such a fun treat that my kids love to make and to see the end result of cake being cooked in an orange rind! This should make about 12-15 orange rind cakes depending on the size of oranges that you have. When they are done cooking, you eat the cake out of the rind and it is so much fun! When we made it, we used a white cake mix, but I suppose you could use chocolate and see how it will be. Enjoy!
