For each cake, mound 1 1/2 tsp of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of butter on a sheet of
non-stick foil. Top with a pineapple ring, maraschino cherry and a small shortcake shell.
Form a packet and grill sugar side down over medium-high heat for approximately 12
minutes. Serve after cooling. Side with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you’re feeling really
adventurous!

Berry Cobbler
what you need:
2 lbs Fresh Strawberries (chopped)
1 pint Fresh Blueberries
1 box Yellow cake mix
1 7.5 oz Sprite
2 tablespoons butter, cold
2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
directions:
Preheat 35-40 charcoal briquettes until white and glowing. Line a 12”Dutch Oven with
Aluminum Foil (or dutch oven Liner). Wash and prepare fruit.
In a medium bowl combine the cake mix and lemon lime soda. (You want a batter that is
thick, but moist). Place fruit in the cast iron dutch oven and spoon batter over top,
smoothing with a spoon if necessary. Thinly slice the butter and place evenly over batter.
Sprinkle with the sugar, if using. Cover the dutch oven with its lid. Place 10 hot charcoal
briquettes together and set dutch oven over them.
Using tongs, place the remaining 16 briquettes on the dutch oven lid. After about 10
minutes, rotate the dutch oven over the coals clockwise and the lid over the dutch oven
counter clockwise to promote even cooking. Check after 20 minutes, cobbler is done with the
topping is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling.
Remove dutch oven from coals. Serve the cobbler with whipped cream. http://fischfoods.
