Ingredients
Instructions
You will need to allow the campfire to burn down to a nice bed of coals. I would suggest using a grate over the coals to allow for a steady cook surface.
Heavily coat a 10 to 12-inch cast-iron skillet with vegetable shortening. Dust with the 2 to 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and set it aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ¼ cup cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and baking powder.
In a smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well incorporated.
Evenly spread the batter in the bottom of the prepared skillet.
Evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the batter.

This cake can also be cooked in an oven at home at 350°F for 45 minutes.
Because temperature can widely differ for a campfire, the cake most definitely needs to be cooked on top of a grate. This will also help with the stability of the cooking surface.
It is very important to heavily coat the skillet with shortening. The batter will be very sticky.
Remember anything cooked over the open flame will be hot when removing; cook with care!
