Notes

Adapted from “Look What’s Cooking at Southend!”, Suzanne Spencer (Nursing Services)
For a nut-free variation, omit the chopped pecans, and sprinkle old-fashioned oats over the cake mix.
For a camping variation, prepare a 12-inch camp Dutch oven, and double the cake mix.  Place 8 charcoal briquettes underneath the Dutch oven and 16 briquettes on top.  Bake for 1-hour.
