Two ingredients, angel food cake mix and any kind of cake mix. Put them in a bag together, shake well, scoop out 3 tablespoons of the mix, add 2 tablespoons of water, then put it in a ramekin and nuke it for 1 minute. The recipe didn’t say whether or not to spray with Pam, but I did because I didn’t want a mess.
Ha, you can see how well that worked for me. But, if I wasn’t Miz Piggy it would have been fine. I made it, nuked it, and it was just this itty bitty amount of cake in the bottom of the ramekin. So I doubled the recipe, at least I think I did, I was talking to my friend, Nisha on the phone while I was making this and since yours truly can’t chew bubble gum and walk at the same time, who knows what I did. All I know is that it started to run over in the microwave so I quickly put a saucer under it and finished cooking it. It took about a minute and a half for the larger batch, but remember, I have the microwave from hell, so my timing is never accurate.
And how did it taste, curious minds want to know? Well, all I had was a confetti cake mix to mix with my angel food cake mix, so it’s kinda vanilla tasting. But it’s not bad, but I’m also desperate. I don’t have anything in the house that isn’t healthy, and this is the only thing I could come up with fast that didn’t involve actual work.
Would I do it again. Sure, I would. If this was topped with a sliced banana, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or some fresh fruit, or my dilly’s favorite, lemon sauce, it would be pretty good for a quickie. A bit of almond flavoring would be nice, too.
But I think I would like it better using a chocolate cake mix. Or I could just stir some chocolate chips or cocoa into this. It’s not knock-your-socks off people, but it’s not too bad considering that it only takes 1-2 minutes start to finish. Except for the mess…. Ughhh!!
Tweaks: I made this again, doubled the recipe, put it in a mug, did NOT Pam it, nuked it for 1:30 and it came out perfect.
