We can always count on excellent desserts. One year, my son's birthday fell during a camping trip; she made cake and I made coffee can ice cream. What a blast!

I tried it with a pound cake too and it worked although the consistency wasn't exactly the same as it normally is. I haven't tried it with brownies or plain cake yet. Put about 1/4 inch of water in the pressure cooker and then place your baking pan on upside down forks to keep the bottom of the cake pan from touching the top of the water. I used a small round glass container that fits inside the pressure cooker. Heat the pressure cooker until it's going off full force, reduce heat to low for 20 minutes and then the cake or bread is done. Perfectly done. Takes half the time of conventional oven and you don't have to mess with wrapping things up with aluminimum foil and coals. I just learned how to make bread using a pressure cooker.

I was looking for a live spider -- then I read on. Then I asked my husband if he knew what a spider was. He did. I live under a rock! The cake looks delish. Wish I could get my crew to go camping!
