Cakes in Caravans

I have been reminded by some very clever ladies that the Caravan Club have a baking competition at the National Rally each year, and somewhere in one of the classes is a cake.  All sorts of cakes have been involved in the contest, including a Victoria Sandwich.

The problem is always going to be getting the right temperature in the oven, consistently. I own a 2010 Bailey Olympus 504 which has a reasonable oven with a regulo type setting.  However, it does seem that the temperature at, for example mark 6, is not always the same and is affected by the wind conditions outside the 'van.  As a result cooking times can vary quite dramatically.  I have to admit that I have never tried to cook a cake in the caravan - but would love to hear from anyone who knows how to do this successfully.

Next questions - should we include recipes for cakes on the website and if so how complex should they be?
