Ingredients

  • 1 box of cake mix any flavor
  • 1 box of angel food cake mix
  • Water
  • Whipped cream optional
  • Sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Pour both boxes of cake mix into a gallon sized sealable storage bag and shake to thoroughly combine the mixes.
  • Put 3 tablespoons of the combined cake mix in a microwaveable coffee cup. Seal and set aside the remaining cake mix to enjoy 1-2-3 Cake another day.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of water.
  • Stir the water and cake mix together to form a batter. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the mug to get all the cake mix granules wet.
  • Cook for 1 minute in the microwave.
  • Be careful when you remove the hot cup from the microwave. The resulting cake will fill about half the cup and have a spongy appearance.
  • Top with whipped cream and sprinkles. Enjoy this warm, delicious dessert!
