All dutch oven recipes use a 12-inch dutch oven, unless specified. If you have a 10-inch dutch oven, use about 2/3 to 3/4 of the ingredient amounts but keep the temperature and time about the same.
If no temperature is listed, use 350 degrees.

Hi,
A question and a comment: why do you give only the oven temperature and time, and not an approximate time if using a Dutch oven on coals, which to my mind is the beauty of a Dutch oven?
My cousin ran Campfire Girls for decades, and she showed us how to do something similar on the fire. She made the chocolate cake in the bag, but without the nuts. When it was nearly done, she poured cherry pie filling on top and let it cook some more until it was cooked through. She then topped it with Cool Whip and voila! Black Forest Cake in a Dutch Oven. It was so rich we couldn't eat it all, but I have no doubt your Scouts, or my Brownies, would make short work of it!

@Diana - The temps and times ARE for using a dutch oven with fire
coals. The "Heat Settings" link above explains how to distribute
coals for various heats.
