Line the bottom of the electric skillet with one layer of aluminum foil. Preheat skillet to 275° with the cover on.Generously grease the foil with oil, shortening or butter.Prepare cake according to the directions below.Place cover slightly ajar on skillet, or open top vent and bake 45 minutes to an hour or until done. Place plate over skillet and invert to remove cake. Remove liner while cake is still hot.
I prefer to use a disposable foil cake pan when camping,but either method works great.
