I came across this video by some good looking rooster:

I was hoping said rooster could confirm the ingredients. I get that it is a cup of flour, fruit, condensed milk and a little salt. 

What I would like to get and idea of is how much fruit and what size milk tin?

Also, how long was it cooked for and was it heated from below as well?

I would guess it is similar to this:

Long time ago so not completely sure but was a very easy one.

I think it was a cup of flour, pinch of salt, one and a half cups fruit and a tin of condensed milk.

It is a very sticky mix.

Cook for about half an hour.

Thanks Derek,

The shopping list has been updated...

Good luck with your cake Colin
regards Kev ;)

So after 30 (and bit) minutes, not as brown as expected but a skewer comes out clean.

So, off it comes.

Now cooling on a rack.

Ingredients:
1 cup SR flour
1 1/2 cups of mixed fruit
1 395g tin of sweetened condensed milk
Pinch of salt

Preheat Camp Oven
(I used 6 heatbeads under and 22 on top - coconut husk ones in the blue bag)

Grease and flour a small cake tin. I also lined the base with baking paper, my Grandmother always insisted on that.

Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.  It is a thick and heavy mixture.

Once camp oven is hot, pour mix into cake tin and place in camp oven.

Check after 20 minutes.

Should take about 25 to 30 minutes.

I forgot to add:

It is my first ever cake in a camp oven!

:) ;D :D

How did it look out of the tin mate?

Yep. I am waiting as well.   :D

Hi Colin
Good on ya mate well done.
I would not mind a look after it is cut.
Kev ;)

It turns out the tin was a smidge big, so it is a bit like a slice.

However, it tastes a treat.

Even my wife likes it. I am quite pleased for a first attempt.

I will invest in a smaller springform cake tin (or increase the ingredients) for next time.

(Edited to attach a better image - the first was quite washed out)

Hi Colin
The cake looks pretty good

Kev

Should have said it is more a slice than a deep dish cake.  I used to cook them in a pie dish.

Given the small number and long shelf life of the ingredients, I can see this becoming a bit of a camp site regular.

Well, if we ever get sorted enough to go camping again!

(You wouldn't think it would be an issue being an hour from the mallee, and hour from the Murray and 4 hours from the Flinders but life gets in the way...)
