Directions
Step 1
Prepare your campfire or preheat a Dutch oven to about 350°F if used over hot coals.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and fluffy.
Step 5
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet or Dutch oven with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared skillet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Cover the skillet with its lid (or aluminum foil if a lid is unavailable), and place it over medium-hot coals. If using a Dutch oven, ensure coals are on the top and bottom to evenly cook.
Step 9
Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Step 10
Carefully remove the skillet from the heat and allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing.
Step 11
Serve warm around the campfire, and enjoy this comforting chocolate chip cake with your loved ones!
