Why This Recipe Is So Easy To Love

These cakes are a fun and tasty treat that bring a tropical twist to any outdoor gathering. They are easy to make over a campfire and offer a sweet, caramelized pineapple flavor that everyone will enjoy.

Helpful Chef Tips

- Use ripe pineapple for the best natural sweetness.
- Wrap the cakes tightly in foil to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Rotate the foil packets frequently over the fire to cook the cakes evenly.

Step 1

Spread butter on the cut sides of each doughnut half. Then sprinkle brown sugar over the butter for a nice sweet touch. Place a pineapple ring between two doughnut halves to make a sandwich.

Step 2

Take four squares of aluminum foil and spray them lightly with cooking spray. Set each doughnut sandwich on a piece of foil, then wrap it up tightly to create a sealed pouch.

Step 3

Cook the foil packets near the campfire, letting them heat through for about 20 minutes. Once they’re warm and gooey, carefully unwrap and enjoy!

Serving Inspiration

Serve warm straight from the fire with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey. They also pair well with fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for added texture and flavor.

Freezing Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a warm oven or over low heat on the stove to maintain their soft texture.

Really nice flavor but needed a bit more time on the fire to get crispy. Otherwise, a tasty treat my kids enjoyed.
