Ingredients:

  • 1 can of sliced pineapple in juice
  • 1 box of yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup of melted butter
  • 3 eggs

Instructions:

  1. Start by preparing your campfire. Make sure you have a stable fire with a nice bed of hot coals. If you’re using a grill grate, place it securely over the fire.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  3. Get a cast-iron skillet (the perfect cooking tool for campfire goodies!) and arrange the sliced pineapple evenly at the bottom. Pour any remaining juice from the can over the pineapple for added flavor.
  4. Slowly pour the cake batter over the pineapple, ensuring it covers all the slices. Don’t worry if it doesn’t look perfect—it will taste amazing!
  5. Carefully place the skillet over the hot coals (or on the grill grate) and cover it with a lid or aluminum foil to trap the heat. It’s important to keep a close eye on it, as cooking times may vary based on your campfire’s heat.
  6. Cook for about 30-40 minutes, checking frequently. You’re looking for a golden-brown top and a toothpick inserted in the center to come out clean.
  7. Once cooked, carefully remove the skillet from the fire and let it cool for a few minutes. Using a plate, carefully flip the cake over so the pineapple side is facing up.

Finally, slice up your delicious Campfire Pineapple Upside Down Cake and enjoy it warm! This delightful treat is sure to be a hit around the campfire, leaving everyone with sweet memories and satisfied smiles.
