Has anyone ever baked a cake on the grill? It's finally gotten warm here and friends are looking forward to my cakes but the temperature and sun shine is drawing me outside. I also like the idea of using the fire that my husband is so good at making for more than just ribs! Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Yes, I have..... I cooked a 9 x 13 cake on the grill once and it came out just great! I placed 4 empty tuna cans on the grill and then set my pan on top of the cans. It's probably something I would not do every day, but we had a storm and the lights were out for several days. We wanted cake so I cooked on the grill and it worked out just fine. Oh, by the way the grill was propane, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with coals the same way.
My FIL made a cake once in a cast iron dutch oven with just a few hot coals under it and on the top so I don't see why a grill wouldn't work. He used a spice cake mix and a can of apple pie filling and it was one of the best things I have ever tasted!
Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

I'm a girl scout leader and we have often baked cakes in dutch ovens. They come out great!. Each hot charcoal is about 35 - 40 degrees so you'd need about 8-10 on the top and the bottom.
This is so freaking cool!!! I'm going to have to try it for kicks. Thanks for posting this!!!
no, but i'm sure i'll try it this summer. my kids are going to die when they see me doing it. LOL i'm sure they'll think i lost my mind. ;o)
MINE TOO!!!! But I love that look of confusion in their eyes! OH yay! I wanna try too! I saw a show where they did grilled pizzas. I tried it and it was a disaster, badly burnt crust. Probably woulda been better on gas not coals.
Wow!!! I have heard of making pizza on the grill.... but cakes?!?!? You know I am going camping this weekend. So how do you do it? Just mix it all up and cover it with tin foil?

Go to the Food Network, they have a few recipes on there.
now this I'm gonna have to try.... we're going to a family reunion this summer and each family is taking a night to do dinner. How funny would it be to bake a cake on the grill for dessert? I imagine indirect cooking is key - acts just like an oven! Will just have to lay low on the hickory smoke - hickory cake doesn't sound so appealing
