BERRY DELICIOUS PUDDING

By Evan Spence 3 Min Read

This is a simple recipe that has just come my way, and after a number of road tests and no failures I am happy to say it will be a family favourite for many camping trips to come.

I have cooked my pudding in a small cast iron camp oven, although it will work if cooked in a baking dish inside a large camp oven, caravan or home oven.

METHOD

Place berries evenly over the base of the camp oven, sprinkle cake mix over the berries then pour lemonade over the top of the cake mix and berries.

There is no need to mix it as the cake mix will froth up with the lemonade and mix together of its own accord.

Place the lid on the camp oven and transfer it to the cooking coals.

Arrange a small amount of coals, equivalent to six heat beads, under a low rack that the camp oven will sit on.

Put the camp oven on the rack and add a ring of coals, heat beads or bagged charcoal around the lip of the lid.

You may peek occasionally to check on the pudding’s progress, though it should take about 25-30 minutes to cook to perfection.

In the last 5-10 minutes, scrape
the coals to the centre of the lid
to brown the top so it is golden
and crunchy.

Serve with a drizzle of cream,
a scoop of ice cream or a dollop
of double cream or vanilla yoghurt, and enjoy!
