Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has a sweeter, more vibrant flavor than canned pineapple. If you're using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overcook the pineapple. Overcooked pineapple will be mushy and lose its flavor. Cook it just until it's tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Use a heavy-duty foil packet. A heavy-duty foil packet will help to prevent the pineapple cakes from burning.
  • Be careful when opening the foil packet. The steam inside the packet can be very hot. Open it carefully to avoid getting burned.
  • Serve the pineapple cakes warm. Pineapple cakes are best served warm, when the pineapple is still slightly caramelized and the cake is soft and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Campfire pineapple cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that's perfect for any camping trip. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and satisfying treat that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're planning a camping trip, be sure to add campfire pineapple cakes to your menu!
