Eggs don't actually need to be refrigerated, it's a myth that Western society has led us to believe. I'd be more worried about them breaking

Campfire Orange Cakes

You mix the batter and Mother Nature will provide the “baking pan.”
 

Campfire Orange Cakes

Ingredients
  • 1 box cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 3 eggs (We recommend using an egg substitute since refrigeration options are limited on the trail.)
  • 10-12 oranges
Directions
  1. At home: If you want to save yourself a little prep time at the campsite, mix up your cake batter in a large locking freezer bag. Otherwise, pack ingredients in individual containers.
  2. On the trail: Slice the tops off the oranges about a half inch from the top, and be sure to save the tops to use later. Hollow out the oranges with a spoon, and enjoy some fresh orange slices while you bake. Mix the cake batter in a large locking plastic bag and then cut the corner of the bag and use the opening to squeeze batter into the hollowed oranges. Fill the oranges about ¾ full. Place the tops back on the oranges and wrap the fruit in foil. Place the oranges onto hot coals and let cook for 20-30 minutes. Unwrap and enjoy your cake!
Serves 10-12
