Orange Cake at the Campfire is a recipe that combines the rustic tradition with a refreshing and sweet citrus flavor. Its origin dates back to outdoor activities, where preparing desserts near a campfire became an entertaining and practical way to cook without the need for a conventional kitchen. In different Latin American countries, this recipe may have variants and names related to the use of fresh fruits to make simple cakes during outings or camping trips. In Mexico, for example, it might be called "orange cake over the fire," while in countries like Colombia or Argentina, it is usually prepared similarly using local fruits and cake mixes adapted to regional ingredients.
This type of preparation reflects popular creativity and the ingenuity of using natural elements to cook delicious desserts in nature, maintaining the characteristic flavor of the orange, a fruit highly valued in Latin American cuisine for its aroma and balanced sweetness.
