This is perfect for those of us with just one or two in the house these days, hate to make a huge cake. This way you can make 1,2,3,or as many as you need.
3, 2, 1 CAKE
These individual little cakes are amazing and ready to eat in one minute! They are perfect for whenever you feel like a treat without all the fat and calories that cake can have. Genius idea!INGREDIENTS:
1 box Angel Food Cake Mix
1 box Cake Mix - Any Flavor
2 Tbsp Water
Makes 1 serving.
DIRECTIONS:
In a ziploc bag, combine the two cake mixes together and mix well. For each individual cake serving, take out 3 Tablespoons of the cake mix combination and mix it with 2 Tablespoons of water in a small microwave-safe container. Microwave on high for 1 minute, and you have
your own instant individual little cake!
KEEP remaining cake mixture stored in the Ziploc bag and use whenever you feel like a treat!
You can top each cake with a dollop of fat free whipped topping and/or some fresh fruit.
Helpful Tips:
This recipe is called 3, 2, 1 Cake because all you need to remember is "3 tablespoons mix, 2 tablespoons water, 1 minute in the microwave!"
TRY various flavors of cake mix like carrot, red velvet, pineapple, lemon, orange, etc. Just remember that one of the mixes has to be the angel food mix; the other is your choice.
The flavor possibilities are endless!
The best thing is, you open both cake mixes into a gallon storage bag, one that 'zip locks' or 'self-seals', or a container that seals tightly, shake the two cake mixes to blend and then make the recipe. Storage of mix is simple, put it on a shelf. No need to refrigerate, since the mix is dry.
Always remember, that one of the cake mixes MUST be Angel Food. The other can be any flavor.
The Angel Food is the cake mix that has the eggs whites in it. So, if, anyone is allergic to egg whites, you can NOT serve this recipe.
Now someone sent me this recipe - and I have forgotten who. If you did - let me know and I will give you credit. I'm sorry.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - kind of goes with the new quote for the week. You have to be honest and committed.

i love that last quote and it is so true. the cake looks delish to me
I usually make my cakes from scratch because they're easy to do and don't have all the additives that box mixes have, but I'd make an exception for this! Wish I had the mixes, I'd try this today!
Great quote, Sandie! Have a great day, it's snowing here right now.
This is a terrific idea- thanks for sharing!
Going by the store today for this! We may have little cakes tomorrow!! Thanks for sharing!
Looks quite tasty! Hope you're havin' a great day!
Thanks for sharing this recipe - looks wonderful to me!
It is a genius idea! We don't eat desert much any more but this might be worth trying (as long as I didn't get tempted to microwave the whole thing one bite after another ;>)
That is so cool! Great idea -- then Beth and I wouldn't have to eat the whole cake all at once....ha ha!
Thanks for a really great idea. It's just my hubby and me, so a big cake is too much. This will be perfect.
thanks for the recipe. Love the quote. Happy Valentine's day!
Cake looks delicious
but I am trying to be good
and avoid it.
If I made that cake I would eat it all myself!!!
Love the quote Sandie.

Now that looks like a recipe that would be wonderful for me and the mister since it is only the two of us now. Thanks, Sandie.
I just received this recipe from a close friend of mine..Haven't tried it yet, but definitely will be doing so! with just Sam and I at home, this is going to be the perfect cake..
Have yourself a blast of a day...

My Mom told me about this and she loves it! She lives alone so can just make up a little cake when she wants. She told me she put a candy kiss in the center of one and had a yummy melted center. hugs, Linda
Well isn't that easy!
Great idea! Love the quote...so true!
Have a great week Sandie!
What a great, handy idea!
Cake is one of my weaknesses ... this way I can have a bit of sweetness, without the temptation of a whole cake sitting in the house. Thanks SO much for sharing that!
Love the quote, too.
That cake looks very tasty ^_^ and seems easy to make too. Thank you very much for that. I love the quote at the end. Have a lovely day!

The cake recipe sounds good, Sandie. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you have a terrific day. Susan
I love a good easy recipe - I'm so trying that.
Sandie, I love this idea! I think it would be a wonderful gift idea in a pretty bag to someone who lives alone or just a couple so they can enjoy a treat whenever they want.
Wouldn't it also be great to make several kinds and divvy it up among friends? This is really a great idea.
I am soooooo going to do this!! Thank you!
Wouldn't kids have fun coming home from school and making a little snack cake? I've never heard of this one before.
It's a great idea! Hope you have a wonderful week.
My husband will love that cake. Have to do it. Thanks Sandie.
I'm home now. If you could run that cake on over I'd be most appreciative!
Sounds fabulous! ANd I love your quote. :)
I'd love to follow you! I see we have a common theme - rose-colored glasses! Kindred spirits, I say!
As I read this, I'm thinking of my ramekin dishes and how cute a dessert this would be :)
What a great idea...thanks for the recipe!
I love this idea! Going to use it! Wrote about your chicken recipe that I loved today! Hope you had a great day.
OK, I'm buying cake mix when I go to work tomorrow. I've got to try this.
Um, um good. I noticed that it calls for angel (Cupid) food cake. How perfect!
Oh you know I have to do this. I need a little cheat treat!
I’d like to include this in our company’s newsletter next month!
Didn’t see any mention of food coloring, but don’t suppose 2-3 drops o’green would hurt ... to commemorate St. Paddy’s Day?
Me and my moms would like a bite of that cake- right now! It sounds so good!
love

Those are just the cutest little cakes. I'm afraid my hubby would laugh if I served him only one. He would have to eat 8 of them at least!
Oh yummy yum yum! That is a wonderful cake recipe!
Love the quote!

Perfect cake for those of us on a diet. Just one serving. Thank you for this recipe. I am sharing it with my daughter.
Oh, I'll have to try this recipe. appears to be simple and yummy. thanks.
That quote is so very true!!
Love this recipe and how easy it is to remember with the 3-2-1! Thank you so much for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day, Sandie! {{hugs}} tanna
If I can get to the store today I'm making some of those cakes!
I'll have to keep this recipe in mind, even though generally, I don't like using mixes.
Your wisdom for Valentines Day had be chuckling…
Today is my 44th wedding anniversary.
Valentines day is not the same these days.
It use to be so simple.
BTW: of all the people commenting on the poor hairless cat, I chose you to be the one that would care for a poor cat such as this one. I don't know why either. I thought you were a dog lover first. These cats are so fragile, I am glad we have one WITH fur. I will be posting many more cats when I get in gear.
Now, that looks yummy!
