Tuna Can Pineapple Cake

This is originally a camping recipe....but just as good at home.
This simple recipe uses minimal ingredients and is a great family dessert, as each person can have their own mini-cake.

What you will need: ·
2-4 used Tuna Cans (cleaned thoroughly) ·
1 package cake mix (eggs & water as required) ·
1 can pineapple slices (round sections) ·
1 package icing (ready to serve)

Directions:
Have a fire ready with flames that are not too high, or move the logs so that there is a section under your campfire grill/rack that does not have high flames. (If the flames are too high touching the tuna cans, the bottom of the cake will burn.) Lightly grease the can with butter or margarine if available. Place a full round pineapple slice on the bottom of the can. Prepare cake mix in bowl according to the package directions. The simpler the cake mix the better. Pour the mix into the tuna cans, filling approx. 2/3 of the can. Place the cans on the campfire cooking rack and cook until the cake has risen and browned on top. Remove from grill when ready and let cool on the picnic table. Top with favorite icing or just enjoy the fresh warm cake without!
