Any one done a cake?

GK59

I saw one for a carrot cake,but has any one attempted something other? 

My daughter threw out the idea of a cake or cupcakes.

First thoughts, YUK!

I bake all the time in my egg. Mind you I have 1 egg dedicated to nothing but baking but turns out great

I've made the pineapple upside down cake and the chocolate lave cakes.  I was real happy with the lava cakes.  The pineapple cake...not so much.

I have baked on my egg one thing i learned  was to make sure you egg is level  :(

I haven't tried a normal cake, but brownies come out nicely.  My favorite is cheesecake though.  The cheesecake seems to take on the smoke very well.  Just make sure you spend the time to get your egg completely stabilized as baking is not very forgiving to temp overshoots.

I'd bet angelfood would pick up, and complement, smoke too.

I've done lava cakes, cookies, and muffins. And of course, pizza. Pizza is baking!

Only baking I've done is a pineapple upside-down cake.  I saw recipes that had the pineapples intact as circles (like this) and others with them diced and covering the entire top.  I'd probably dice them next time as there were some slices without pineapple topping.  That said, in terms of the actual baking process in the cast iron it worked great.  I'll do it again for sure.

I do them all the time! That ALWAYS WOWS potential buyers with the versatility of the BGE! I even have a 6 hour paid gig coming up next week in Peoria, IL where I will be baking multiple cakes for an estimated 1,000 to 1,200 attendees. Here's one from the past...

I love pineapple upside down cake but haven't done it on the egg yet. Maybe I need to.

Since the egg has convective properties make sure you decrease the temp by 25° from what the recipe says.

Cobblers come out really good. As far as desserts go, I prefer cobbler and ice cream over cake or pie. I control temp with bottom vent only and leave DFMT off to allow maximum exhaust of smoke. People can't believe I can make a smoke free dessert cooking with charcoal.

Double layered carrot cakes just take longer due to the cooling needed first before icing and by then some people already have moved on, but they are still WOWSERS when done on the egg!

I do a lot of desserts on the Egg. I love @Griffin pineapple upside down cake. I've also done Apple Cake, Banana Foster Cake and others. Another impressive dessert is Apple Pie baked inside an apple. And for the kiddies, nothing beats S'Mores done in a mini ice cream cone.

Thanks to all for your help. They all look great.

If you can do a clean burn the day before (including the platesetter), you will greatly reduce the chance of having smoke flavor in your baked goods.

google icecream cake, its icecream and self rising flour, thats it

I haven't done a ton of baking on the EGG but last weekend I had the pleasure of competing next to Mark Verplats- he made an apple upside down cake that'll make you wanna slap yer momma. Anyway I searched in our forums for the recipe and found one but it has a broken link.  Anyway I got lucky and found the recipe on the internet- so I posted it on the thread.  Mrs. Puj's Apple Cake-  It did well at an EGGfest back before it was cool.  Here's the link.

What do you all use for pans to bake in?
