Surely Judith didn't bake that cake in a Trangia? Although, it look like
the same radius....

Ah, but that cake is round and has cherries in it. I don't think I
put cherries in mine - but maybe I do if I have some - and mine is a
loaf to make slicing easier. Note I did not say "easy", just easier!

Of course! It's a proper campsite recipe: A tin of condensed milk,
some couscous, stir in some smashed up garibaldi biscuits then simmer
for 3 days in a Trangia.

Delicious!

Thanks for the recipe Judith - I did include cherries and the result was
excellent.

You just have to include cherries.

Remember to dust them in flour before chopping them in half - it makes
handling easier.

Your offer of cake might just get me to an expedition :-)

It would have been a whole lot easier if you hadn't been slicing the
plastic bag as well :-)

It comes out a bit moister and stickier than a baked cake: rather like
Christmas pud in fact...

Sounds fabulous :-D

Is that the sound of a thousand Trangia's being recovered
from boxes in lofts, I wonder...

It is perfectly possible to cook a cake on a camping stove: you just
have to accept that it will be steamed rather than baked. A good rich
Dundee cake will stand up to this quite happily. It's quicker if you
use a pressure cooker. It comes out a bit moister and stickier than a
baked cake: rather like Christmas pud in fact...

I also vaguely remember some sort of haybox method off cooking a cake,
but have no idea if this would be successful.

You can bake with a reflector oven. Needs an open fire to power it though.

Should work, but ISTM you might as well just cut to the chase and make a
steam pudding instead. I've had some very good ones built up from raw
ingredients this way.

Look, I didn't think to bring a breadboard with me. You were all
lucky I remembered the bread-knife, or you'd have been served chunks
of cake from a titanium spork!
