Ingredients
- 1 orange
- 1 packet chocolate cake mix
Equipment
- hot coals
Directions
- Slice the top off the orange and keep it for later.
- Using a sharp spoon scoop out the orange, being careful not to put a hole in the side, or expose the bitter pith. Leave the base of the orange's fruit about a quarter way up, filled with orange juice.
- Scoop in 3 tablespoons of chocolate cake mix. This may be more or less depending on the size of the orange.
- Place the lid on the orange, then position in the coals. Try to achieve a hot heat, about 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). It is not necessary to bury the orange.
- After 10 minutes take off the lid and check if the cake is cooked through. If cooked remove and serve, if not, continue cooking until done.
