Patricia Preston with a recipe for Cake in a cup!
First, you’ll need a box of angel food cake mix and a box of regular cake mix. I chose fudge for the hot fudge cake. Using a large bowl, mix the two boxes of cake mix together. You’ll also need a storage container to put the mix in, so you’ll have it whenever you want to make yourself a desert.
IMPORTANT: Do not use any cooking spray, oil or Crisco in the cup.
To make hot fudge cake, you’ll need chocolate syrup. Cover the inside base of a round cup or mug with chocolate syrup. IMPORTANT: Do not use any cooking spray, oil or butter in the cup.
In a separate dish—I use a measuring cup—mix 3 tablespoons of the cake mix with 2 tablespoons water. Pour this mix on top of the chocolate syrup.
Put in microwave for about 50 seconds if 1100 watts. The recipe calls for 1 minute but I’ve found that the cake is done by 50 seconds especially using a 4 or 5 inch diameter mug.
Flip cup over onto desert plate and all you need to do is add ice cream. This recipe can be used to make all kinds of different cakes and without toppings, they are very low calorie. I also make pineapple upside down cake which tastes great! Use pineapple cake mix and angel food. Put brown sugar in the bottom of the cup, top with pineapple pieces and then add mix. Microwave and enjoy. To make a large cake, I would think you can triple the recipe, use larger bowl and microwave longer. I have never tried that. I can vouch for the chocolate and the pineapple. Also made strawberry once and put fresh strawberries on the top.
