Think baking a cake is impossible while camping? Think again. With this recipe you don’t even need cake pans—each cake is baked individually in an orange, infusing the chocolate with citrus flavor. So grab your cake batter and tinfoil and start baking!
This recipe was featured as part of our Step Up the S’more: 7 Ideas for Campfire Treats.
