Baking on the grill

I baked a cake on the grill! I got the recipe from Weber's Big Book of Grilling. When I saw the recipe, I knew I had to try it before we got the kitchen back. I've been going through baking withdrawal. It's been a month now since the stove has been sitting in the living room.

The cake turned out good. I baked it in my big cast iron skillet (love that thing!). The edges got a little crispy (not burnt). It was really yummy with some coffee ice cream.

These grilled potatoes are awesome. We devoured them. You could add whatever seasonings you want to go with what you're serving them with.
