Chocolate Raspberry Cake
This Chocolate Raspberry Cake is a delicious dessert that is made in a Dutch oven. You can cook it in the oven, in a smoker, or with charcoal briquettes. It’s an easy dessert to make when camping. It serves 12-15 people and is great with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Clean-up is much easier if you line the Dutch oven with a liner or foil.
The raspberry filling complements the rich chocolate cake beautifully.
Other Cooking Methods
The Chocolate Raspberry Cake shown here is cooked in a Dutch oven, but there are other methods you can use. Like a smoker! Using the grill feature on your smoker, bake this at 350 degrees for around an hour and 20 minutes. Or, if you’d rather try a conventional oven, feel free. Change the baking time to 40-45 minutes. If you do use the Dutch oven method, using charcoal briquettes you can plan on baking about 45 minutes, checking every 15 minutes or so.
