I got an e-mail today from my MIL (Mother-in-Law). So I have to believe that whatever she sends me is for real, right??? Well this one sounded like something I had to try, so if you get the e-mail from your MIL or your Mom or any other loved one you can comment wisely with,
"that is a joke" or "I've known about that forever!!!"
The e-mail was titled 3-2-1 Cake!
They had me at Cake!! (right Kim??)
Well it really is for a small snack cake, I think this should be called
Empty Nesters Snack Cake.
When you want cake but don't really want to cook a whole one and eat just one slice.
Like that would really happen!!
Here is what it said to do;
mix 1 cake mix of your choice and 1 Angel Food cake mix (1 of them has to the Angel Food)
it says because it already has the eggs and whatever else you need to make a cake.
blend cake mixes together really good
in a microwave safe bowl mix 3 Tablespoons of the mix
Really that is not a typo, remember it is only a snack!!!
with 2 Tablespoons of water
Cook on high in microwave for 1 minute
this is what it will look like after it is cooked.
remove from bowl and enjoy!!!
As you can see I added a few little goodies. I added chocolate chips.
It wasn't bad for a snack, but nothing really beats the real thing.
side note: this was the second one I cooked. The first one was way too wet, and kinda dull.
That is the reason for the added goodies.
Mr. B said 2 thumbs down on the first, I said it wasn't bad.
Mr. B gave this one 1 1/2 thumbs up. And I said it was lots better.
You can imagine I still have a ton of mix left.
Guess who I will be visiting tomorrow!!!
You got it MIL-FIL and my Parents!
They are Empty Nesters.
3-2-1 Cake

I've never heard of that! Wow, with only 3 tablespoons of the mix at a time, you should be set for life with that recipe :)

I have a huge butter bowl of the mix. That is why the parents will be getting some!
DeleteIn some ways that would be too easy to be able to whip up a sort of cake in 1 min. Can you say "pile on the pounds"? lol ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteHmmm I may have to give this a try. Looks like it could be fun to make.

This would be perfect for my late night chocolate cravings when I don't feel like really putting much effort to making something. I'll have to give it a try! :)
ReplyDeleteReally? I had no idea that you could bake a cake in the microwave. Thanks for sharing! I'm going to give this a try. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa - Okay, this is GENIUS! Pinning! Please tell your MIL, thank you! Thanks for sharing such a fun recipe! I love it! I'll let you know when I make it and what toppings I use....so many little cakes to bake :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great night!
Wow, how interesting! I'm intrigued for sure. Just might have to give this a try - thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds intriguing. It would make a good snack cake when you want something small but not really wanting to make a full cake. It would also make a good activity with the kids. They could make their own little cake and decorate it with the goodies.
ReplyDeleteThis looks soooo good! Thanks so much for linking up to "Strut Your Stuff Saturday." We loved having you and hope you will be back next Saturday to share more of your terrific recipes! -The Sisters
