Campfire Chocolate Cake

A few postings back, I presented my KISS (Keep It Simple Silly!) version of Dutch Oven Biscuits and Stew. As it turned out, it was by far the most popular posting of this blog. I'm not sure if it was because of the looks of it in the oven was so delicious looking or if it was in it's simplicity!

I'm going with simplicity (even though it IS delicious too) But in keeping with the "simple" theme, here's the perfect dessert! Dutch Oven Chocolate Cake! Of course you may need to invest in a second Dutch Oven.......can't see a problem there!

SO here it is

Dutch Oven Chocolate Cake Ingredients

1 16 oz package chocolate cake mix
1 3.9 oz package instant chocolate pudding
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

     Lightly oil or spray 12 inch Dutch Oven; line with parchment paper if desired.
     In large bowl, whisk milk with pudding mix until thickened.
     Stir in cake mix; mix until well combined, batter will be thick.
     Spread batter in prepared Dutch Oven.
     Sprinkle evenly with chocolate chips.
     Bake for 30-35 minutes or until edges pull away from sides.
     Allow to cool before lifting from oven with parchment paper.

Remember that cooking with a Dutch Oven requires the oven to be placed over hot coals but not directly in the fire. The lid has a lip to contain hot coals placed on top. Check the contents periodically for progress.
