Another Pinterest success story

You know those single serving Betty Crocker (or Duncan Heinz?) desserts where you put the mix in the bowl, add some water, microwave it and you have a delicious chocolate cake?

On pinterest, I'd seen where you can take a box of angel food cake mix and a box of any other flavor cake you like, mix them together and do the same thing, and it totally works.  It's not exactly like the pre-packaged stuff, but it's still a perfect amount of sweet and chocolate after dinner, and for the cost of two of those desserts, you'll get appx. 1 million.  Give or take.

Here's the directions if you'd like to try it yourself:

 

1 box angel food cake mix (must be angel food cake)

1 box whatever other cake mix (I chose dark fudge... mmmm.....)

Mix together and store in an airtight container.

When you want to make one, put 3 Tbsp of mix in a bowl.  Mix with 2 Tbsp of water.  Microwave for 1 minute.  (Hence the name 3-2-1 cake!) 

NOTE: I think on Pinterest it says to use a coffee mug.  I tried it first this way, and it didn't rise at all like a normal cake would.  It just sat in the bottom of the mug and cooked, so it was only 2-3 bites worth.  Putting it in the bowl lets it spread out and cook more evenly... and last longer.  :)
