Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Melt the butter in a dark, 9-inch round cake pan in a solar oven.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. Stir in buttermilk, stirring until smooth. Scrape into the pan over the butter (do not stir). Sprinkle peaches over top, cover with a tightly fitting dark lid and bake in solar oven until puffed and just bubbling around the edges, about 2 hours. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream or whipped cream.

Tip
  • To make in a conventional oven, bake at 250 degrees.

Glad to see a recipe for my solar cooker. Please post more. I have Lorraine Anderson's excellent book. Always looking for more recipes made from the sun. Thanks!

Consistency is somewhere between “cake” and “pudding.” Delicious, quick, and easy. Used twice the recommended amount of cinnamon. Would definitely make again!

Since I was in a kitchen not camping, had to use conventional oven. Worked even though used regular 9" cake pan. Did use a cast iron Dutch oven lid to cover. Had to cook longer. Good, though odd--never "puffed" and stayed damp on bottom. Would be best to use day of baking.
