Cooking Challenge- Mug Cake

hollboll posted some pics said Fri, Feb 26th 2016 at 5:32pm ET

@katbyter challenged us to make a 3-2-1 Cake mix.

The Idea is:
3 TBSP cake mix
2 TBSP water
1 minute microwave

Get a box of angel food cake mix and mix it with another box's cake mix.
I picked Angel's food cake and Devil's food cake because, duh.

We mixed it in a tupperware.

We mixed everything together.

We microwaved for the correct amount of time.

@hollboll's result:

@katylava's result

Final result with frosting and sprinkles.

Totally hated it. ;)

The Keurig Mini on the counter isn't on the recall list, is it?

Try putting two mini-Hersheys in after you add the liquid. Moosh them down so they're covered. Mini chocolate lava cake. Use OJ instead of water. Drop a few Maraschino cherries in.

is the mixing of 2 kinds necessary? or was it just for extra volume?

- @sohmageek most of the angel food mixes I use need only water added. You might have to adjust the quantity and cook time. I can't see why it would not work.

You don't need cake mixes if you have cocoa powder, flour, and sugar on hand. In fact, they'll taste so much better. Here's a bunch of different recipes:

Drop some chocolate chips into the batter just before you nuke it. And/or plop some ice cream on top when it's done.

Made one with this recipe the other day http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/chocolate-cake-in-a-mug/

Definitely could have used a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, but a tall glass of milk was a good accompaniment.
