Triple Chocolate and Kaluha Cake is a sure winner at our home PLUS unless you have an army of munchkins that cake will last through the next day or more! In fact it is so moist that when covered it will last a week on the counter without spoiling!

Or if that won't work I'll be glad to share a Rum Pound Cake recipe or a another more effort involved but SUPER DELICIOUS recipe recipe called a "Sinfully GOOD Carrot Cake"

Okay okay. Spill it with the carrot cake. 

"Sinfully Good Carrot Cake"

Here's the carrot cake recipe with my modifications to bake it on the BGE. It came from "The Book Lovers Cafe Cookbook", Gourmet Vegetarian Recipes by Crystal Dougherty & Ian Schleifer.

2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 tsp mace
1 1/2 cups canola oil
4 eggs
3 cups grated carrots
3/4 cups English walnuts, chopped  

1/2 cup raisins (dusted with flour so they won’t sink and burn!)
1 tbsp lemon zest

Sift the dry ingredients into a separate bowl (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and mace). In a large bowl, beat sugar and oil together. Add eggs, one at a time, and incorporate each one before adding the next. Slowly add the flour mixture. Next add the carrots and lemon zest.  Then by hand mix in the nuts and finally the flour covered raisins AND BE GENTLE (hehehe). Pour in to two round 9-inch well greased (Criso) and floured cake pans (or three 8-inch pans). Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or longer until a toothpick comes out clean.  I used my plate setter inverted with the primary grate resting on the inverted legs with one cake pan and then either using a grill extender or 2 fire bricks plus an auxillary grate I placed the other one. Just be careful that your dome thermometer isn’t impaling the cake batter NOW or in the raised cake to be!After baked and cooled (an hour) turn the cakes out onto a rack. Once they are cool, spread a layer of icing on the top of one round, set the other on top and finish icing the top and sides, being careful to not tear the cake and have crumbs on the outside. Garnish the sides of the cake with chopped walnuts, if desired.

I haven't  found any advantage to cooking desserts on the egg VS oven. Try cobbler if you like it.
