Campfire Cake In A Orange Shell

Recipe By : GSA/BSA
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:15
Categories : Oranges, Campfire

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Box Jiffy yellow cake mix -- (8 oz.)
6 Large Thick skin oranges
water
tinfoil (heavy)

Slice 2 inches in diameter from oranges and save.
Remove orange from shell with a spoon being careful not to damage shell. Prepare cake mix per instructions. Fill each orange shell half full of cake mix. Replace top and wrap in foil. Bake in hot coals or on grill about 20 minutes, turning often. Enjoy the Orange while waiting.
I use this as a breakfast treat when camping. We eat the oranges out of the shell with a spoon, then when the cakes are done you may eat them with a spoon or peel your orange and have a hot orange cake.
