Cake in a Cup!

You'll enjoy making this Cake in a Cup in the microwave.  I think it would be a fun, inexpensive party idea when hosting a  small group of children as well.  The extra cake mix can go home in a ziploc baggie with this recipe for revellers to try at home.

Have the children choose a microwave-safe mug for their cake.  Next, dump a box of angel food cake mix and a box of any other flavour cake mix in a large ziploc bag.  Zip it very well and shake it, shake it, until both are thoroughly blended.  
To make your cake in a cup, put 1/3 cup of your newly-made mix into the mug. Add 3 tablespoons of water and stir well with a fork. Pop it into the microwave for one minute on high power. 

Another idea you might try is Cake in a Bowl.  Double your recipe and pop it into the microwave for a minute and 20 seconds.  You know your cake is done if you can poke it in the center with a fork and the fork comes out without cake on it.  I hope you enjoy this idea as much as we have!

  1. I had this recipe passed on to me over the winter. It's an easy way to make a quick dessert. And an easy treat for the kids to make themselves.

  3. I had a recipe for cake in a cup but it called for too much measuring and such. This looks fun. One day this summer when the entire neighborhood is at my house.

    And, now I am caught up on your thoughts. :o)

Bringing Garbage Home

Some people up the street were throwing this table away. It was in pretty bad shape and one of the legs was off. I've glued the leg back...
