Let's Make Foil Pouch Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Hello and welcome to Thinking Out Loud Thursday! Summer is in full swing, and I know many of you are soaking up the great outdoors—maybe even heading out on a camping trip! Today, I’m reminiscing about a camping-friendly recipe I first shared back in 2016. If you're on the hunt for a sweet treat to make while camping—or just something fun to grill—this one’s for you!


Here's What You Need
Cake-style donuts
Can of Pineapple Slices (one can has 10 slices in it)
Brown Sugar
Butter
Marachino Cherries
Aluminum Foil


Here's What You Do
Tear off a piece of aluminum foil big enough to make a pouch around a donut.  Cut your donut in half and lay one half on the aluminum foil.  Put a little bit of butter and brown sugar on top of the donut.



Lay a pineapple ring on top and sprinkle a bit more brown sugar.  Drop a cherry in the middle of the pineapple ring.



Fold the aluminum foil into a pouch around the donut.  



Pop on the grill and let cook.  We put them on when we pull our entrees off the grill and let cook while we're eating.  


When you're ready for dessert, pull open the pouch and enjoy the pineapple upside down cake!  This mound of golden goodness is so moist and delicious!  


I love how the pineapple gets just a bit caramelized!  This is such an easy recipe and it's my goal to make it on the grill at home the next time we are in the mood for a little something sweet.  Hope you enjoy it too!


Now it's your turn - what are you thinking out loud about today?  Link up and share!

  3. Morning, Penny, thanks for this party. Happy Thursday.
    This does look stunning, and sure something we need to try next time we have a BBQ at home. I can even veganize it.
