Pumpkins can be cooked on an open flame, but can they be cooked in? Today I made a cake batter to bake inside a pumpkin like a dutch oven. The lid shrunk and fell on to the cake, so cut the top at a steep angle and don't add coals to the top at all. The bottom of the cake was under cooked, so next time I will elevate the pumpkin so the coals can breath. Overall this experiment was a success as the cake was steam cooked and delicious. The pumpkin was well cooked too and could be separated from the charred skin and eaten or used for pet food.
