Black Forest Cake in Dutch Oven


Tiny bit of oil as necessary for the normal curing of dutch oven.
1 box of Devils Food cake mix
1 can of cherry pie filling
I can of coke or other carbonated drink like lemon-lime soda, black cherry soda etc.

Place empty Dutch oven* on about 10-12 charcoal coals, or on scattered wood burning embers. Pour in a third of the soda. Then, pour right into the center, the pie filling. Then pour in the cake mix. Lastly, pour in the rest of the soda, fairly evenly, but you do not have to stir the cake mix into a batter, like Mom might make you.

Close the dutch oven. Some people put a small stick at the lid, so steam will vent. It seems to make no difference as far as I can tell. Put 12-14 coals on the top of the oven. More if it's a windy or cold day. Less if it is hot and sunny.

Check cake in about 40 minutes. It takes forever, and is a very moist cake, so get used to a different consistency than a normal dry cake.
Can be served with whipped cream.
