  6. Place tuna cans in dutch oven forming a stacked circle.
  7. Place oven over coals with a few coals on the lid.
  8. Check in five (5) minutes. If crust has started to form, the fire is too hot. Remove some coals from the lid.
  9. Check in ten (10) minutes. There should be a slight crust forming. If there is a heavy crust or browning, remove most coals from the lid. If there is no crust forming, add more coals to the bottom and to the lid.
  10. Check in twenty (20) minutes. There should be a slight browning. If there is no browning, add coals to the lid. If there is a dark browning remove all coals from the lid. Test for doneness, by pushing a toothpick into the cake. If it comes out dry or with dry crumbs, cake is done. Remove cans from oven. (If cake is not done, check every five (5) minutes until done.)
  11. Let cans cool and then flip cans over onto paper plate.
  12. Serve with Cool Whip or Ice Cream.
