How could it possibly get any better? Well, it's easier, quicker, and even tastier. Plus it's incredibly versatile.
Ingredients:
- Angel food cake mix
- Any other cake mix (I used yellow in this version)
- 2 TBSP water
Directions:
- Dump one box of angel food cake mix into a ziplock bag and add another box of cake mix. Shake them together so they're well mixed.
- Take out 3 TBSP of the combined mixes and add to a microwave safe bowl.
- Add 2 TBSP of water and stir.
- Microwave for 1 minute and ENJOY!
See? The "3, 2, 1" part makes this so simple to remember. 3 TBSP cake mix, 2 TBSP water, 1 minute in the microwave!
This is the perfect bite-sized cake when you want to flavor without the fat. The key here is that one of the cakes MUST be angel food. Angel food has the egg whites in it that are necessary for this recipe to work. But you can certainly sub out the other mix with chocolate, spice, or whatever else your heart desires. You have to try this, you really do.
Want to add a special twist? Top with fat free cool whip or some fresh strawberries!
Another tip? Keep your cake mixes separate if you want to use the leftover dry mix for other purposes. If you do this, just remember that the 3 TBSP of total mix now needs to be 1.5 TBSP of each kind of separate mix. Still simple, but just a tip :)

I've been looking for a fun recipe to give to my Husband's cousin who is a college student. She loves sweets and baked goods but doesn't always have the resources to bake them herself.
I think making the dry mix, putting it in a jar (like those cookies in a jar) and typing up the directions on a cute card would be a perfect (and cheap!) gift.
Thanks, Rookie Chef!
Great idea, Amy! I bet you are crafty enough to come up with a clever card too :) Please share it with me when you're done... I'd love to see it!
