Here was my second Dutch Oven recipe and a stab at filling my desire to make something filling. My family wound up eating it for dinner right before my little brother Pico left for college so it was not a failure, however the success I had was brought on by the quality of the recipe. This could be easily reproduced in a camp setting with a few hours of work. I certainly would lobby for it at a future campout. It produced 9 servings and with it not being unreasonable for a hungry camper to eat two servings (we certainly did) these proportions would be better matched for a small patrol.

This is the Camp Cedars Kit Fox classic and my first stab at my new dutch oven.  In Kit Fox a gentleman by the name of Geoff would direct the construction of the cake every Friday for his classes of first year scouts.  It is by far my favorite dutch oven dessert and I had plenty of practice making it pretty much once every week this summer.  You can drop in pie filling or frost it for additional deliciousness.  I recommend cherry filling the best because at the cost of sweeter cake the cherries retain a delicious bitterness.

This blog aims to chronicle my adventures with Dutch Oven cooking and (hopefully soon) smoking.  I have found bloggers sharing their Dutch Oven experiences to be invaluable which has motivated me to execute this blog.
