Campfire Chocolate Cake

Directions

1. Build fire, developing a bed of coals. Grease and flour smallest pot you have. In a separate medium pot, mix flour, lowfat milk pwdr, baking pwdr and salt.
2. In lid, cream margarine and sugar. Add in egg, combine till smooth. Heat chocolate over fire with a little water, being careful not to burn chocolate. Add in chocolate and brandy to margarine, sugar and egg mix. Stir into dry ingredients with sufficient water to make a smooth, thick batter. Scrape into greased, floured pot and cover.
3. Clear a space in front of fire and set pot in it. Rake warm ashes around pot at least halfway up sides. Depending on size of pot, temperature of coals, and weather, cake should take 25-30 min. Rotate pot in coals to bake proportionately, adding ashes if fire seems cold. Cake is done when knife inserted into center comes out clean. Cold in pot, then run knife around edge and turn it out.
4. For icing: Heat chocolate in pot lid with sufficient water to keep it from scorching. Chocolate should be thick and smooth. Add in margarine, stir till melted, remove from heat. Add in brandy. Cold till chocolate thickens. (On warm day, setting frosting container in cold creek water helps.) When chocolate has frosting consistency, ice cake.
