It’s Valerie’s birthday this week so we wanted to show you how to bake a cake in a cast iron pan in our T@B trailer. As you probably know, there is no oven in the T@B so we had to improvise a bit. Instead we used cast iron pans as a dutch oven. Also, we typically prefer to cook outside but wanted to give you the full indoor cooking experience. Enjoy!
How to Bake a Cake in a Cast Iron Pan
Ingredients:
- cake mix (we prefer Funfetti)
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- nonstick spray
- frosting of your choice
Directions:
- Mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Add mix to your cast iron pan*– we use Lodge because it comes pre-seasoned.
- Cook on LOW. We learned this one the hard way.
- Cook for apx 20 minutes. Try not to open the lid until you start smelling cake.
- Stick a knife in the center-if it comes out clean it’s ready!

I am fixing to go full time…alone in a 26 ft. Motorhome. Need ALL the tips you have. I am 84 yrs young.
You’re amazing!!! We see people your age on the road everyday- We just met a woman in her 70’s traveling alone in Taos! Never too late to hit the road <3
If there is anything on the Internet more delightful than watching the two of you in that in that adorable trailer, I don’t want to know about it. Happy traveling and keep updating us! Peace and love.
