A fun dessert to make while camping or over the grill
Yield: 12 servings
Calories: 295cal
Cost: $10
Equipment
- 12 sheets of foil
Materials
- 12 round sponge cakes find them near the strawberries in most produce sections
- 15 oz. pineapple slices - reserve juice
- 12 Tbsp. butter unsalted
- 12 Tbsp. brown sugar - I used light brown
- 10 oz. maraschino cherries without stems
Instructions
- grab a foil sheet and place a sponge cake in the center of it
- spread 1 Tbsp. of butter onto the sponge cake
- pour 1 Tbsp. of brown sugar over the butter
- place a pineapple ring on top
- pour 1 Tbsp of pineapple juice inside the center of the pineapple slice , over the brown sugar
- place a cherry in the center of the ring
- wrap the foil up and around the cake - fold the foil so it is secure
- repeat with all of the cakes
- preheat the grill to medium-low heat
- place the foil packets - upside down, over the heat, close the lid and cook for about 10 minutes - or until the brown sugar is syrupy and the pineapple ring is warmed through
- *you may want to use another piece of foil to place directly under the foil packs - just incase some of the delicious juices slip out
- remove foil packs and open them - enjoy with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or just by itself
Notes
*you can easily adjust the amount of cakes to feed a smaller crowd or larger. Just, remember it's 1 Tbsp. of butter, brown sugar and juice per cake
