Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Angelfood cake mix
- 1 box Any flavor of regular cake mix (e.g., chocolate, vanilla, or red velvet)
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the entire box of angel food cake mix with the entire box of regular cake mix. Whisk them together until they are evenly blended. This will serve as your 'cake mix base' for multiple single-serving cakes. Store the mixture in an airtight container for future use.
When ready to make a cake, scoop 3 tablespoons of the dry cake mix base into a microwave-safe mug or ramekin.
Add 3 tablespoons of water to the mug and stir well until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute. (Microwave times may vary slightly depending on the wattage of your microwave.)
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave using an oven mitt, as it may be hot.
Let the cake cool for 1-2 minutes before serving. You can enjoy it straight out of the mug or gently loosen it with a butter knife and transfer it to a plate.
Optional: Top with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar for added flavor and presentation.
