You could try putting a cooling cake rack in the bottom of your camp oven to keep the cake tin off the bottom. That way the air will circulate around the cake tin in the camp oven. Only put the coals on the lid and not to many. I hope that this might help. This works well for scones also.

It's because we wanted/needed to build this tiny house so we could move onto our land and be free of rental expenses and so on. So our plan is to live here in our tiny house for a few years while we build our actual house. Our actual straw bale house will have a kitchen. In fact it will be primarily about the kitchen + pantry + cold store... Life without a kitchen is fine. And it will get better, once we have our wood oven built. But I am looking forward to having a proper kitchen again sometime in the future. <br />Thanks for your interest<br />Genevievehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985268626481495154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295872509186128724.post-615378558588741652013-07-18T19:47:04.793+10:002013-07-18T19:47:04.793+10:00A weekly campfire night sounds divine!

Eating dinner by the fire, while gazing on the night sky is pure magic.

We've talked about having a kitchen separate to our main house, but no kitchen? How does that work? Have you already got a post about it somewhere?<br /><br />I do know that for some reason I much prefer doing the dishes in a dish when we are camping then at home in the kitchen sink - so I find the idea slightly appealing!<br /><br />We've been to Brogo - absolutely stunning, stayed at Fernmark Inn and LOVED it! One of the hosts tried to talk us into buying property there - maybe one day!!Melhttp://frugalconfessions.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295872509186128724.post-35392298224997870722013-07-18T00:23:38.269+10:002013-07-18T00:23:38.269+10:00I wish I had a neighbour happy to drop off dressed...I wish I had a neighbour happy to drop off dressed rabbit ;-)<br /><br />We've been having a campfire each week (monday night has been declared campfire night for the duration of winter) - and I'm enjoying camp oven cooking. But so far I've been pretty boring - mostly sticking to from scratch baked beans. I tried a cake once - but burnt the bottom. <br /><br />Pasta sauce is a good idea. Thanks for the inspiration. <br /><br />Triciahttp://www.littleecofootprints.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295872509186128724.post-53918488459544574312013-07-17T13:32:52.954+10:002013-07-17T13:32:52.954+10:00ahhhh thinking of all the bunnies I ate when I was...ahhhh thinking of all the bunnies I ate when I was young (before I became a vegetarian obviously!)..... mum used to marinate the bunny overnight (to get rid of some of the 'gamey' taste) then she jointed it, rolled it in flour and egg and breadcrumbs and deep fried the bunny like chicken (in fact - as our dad was not fond of eating bunnies, she used to pass off her deep fried bunnies as chicken......) ahhhhh those were the days... <br /><br />eat more wild bunnies ya'll! (but make sure you check its innards to see that you have a healthy rabbit before you proceed.... if not - compost the furry feral!) ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260679591630131813noreply@blogger.com
