How to make Campfire Cupcakes

A GREAT CAMPFIRE DESSERT TO SHARE AROUND THE CAMPFIRE!
INGREDIENTS: * 6-10 large naval oranges. * 1 box of spice-cake mix. * Eggs and oil,(if required for cake mix recipe) UTENSILS TO PACK: Spoon,tongs,knife,container for mixing. NOTE:Eggs can be cracked into a wide mouth bottle for easy transporting. STEPS FOR MAKING CAMPFIRE CUPCAKES: 1) While the campfire is burning, cut off and set aside the naval end of each orange. Hollow out the oranges, as you would a carving pumpkin, reserving the juice and pulp. 2) In a seperate container, prepare the spice-cake batter per the box's instructions, substituting the oranges juice for any liquids, Stir in the chopped pulp. 3) Fill each orange 1/3 full with cake batter and replace the orange "lid." 4) Snuggle the oranges close to the hot coals but away from the open flame and rotate them every 3-5 minutes with the tongs. The rind will singe black. 5) The cupcakes are ready when the expanding cake lifts the oranges lids 9about 10 minutes). Not very often do you find a campfire dessert that taste's good and is good for you! Best enjoyed with family and friends..
