Campfire Cocoa Skillet Cake

Settle coals into a steady bed, not flames. Use a grate to keep heat consistent. Prepare a well-greased, floured 11-inch cast-iron skillet—vegetable oil or lard can replace shortening. Combine a mix of all-purpose and whole wheat flour for texture. Swap melted coconut oil for butter; adds depth. Cocoa powder and baking soda react, lift the batter. Wet meets dry with milk and vanilla, stirring till no pockets. Scatter semi-sweet chips for bursts of chocolate. Brown sugar and cinnamon sprinkle atop, then pour hot water carefully to create a molten layer. Cook over coals 50-65 minutes until top feels firm but not dry, bottom bubbles like pudding.
