*HINT* you may not get it right the first time.
-

grill baking is tough.
-
41
it took me about three times to get it right myself.
-
42
But, its great for summer time cooking because it doesn't heat up your house and the smores cake is perfect because you get a little bit of that outdoor flavor just like a real smores.
-
43
hint.. gas grills work better than coal but either can be used.
-
44
hint: to cut down on smokey flavor just cover cake with lose fitting foil.
-
45
if you don't like smokey flavor at all.. bake on a gas grill or in oven.
