Equipment

Ingredients

For the Cake Mix

1 box (16 ounces) angel food cake mix (the 1-step kind that only needs water)
1 box (15.25) cake mix (any flavor)

For the Mug Cake

3 tablespoons 3-2-1 cake mix
2 tablespoons water

Instructions

First, prepare the 3-2-1 cake mix

In a large airtight container or sealable plastic bag, whisk the two dry cake mixes until blended and free of lumps.

Then prepare mug cake

To make an individual cake: in a mug coated with nonstick spray, use a fork to combine the 3-2-1 cake mix and water until blended and smooth.
Microwave on HIGH for about 1 minute, or until the center is just set. (The time will depend on the wattage of your microwave).
Let cool slightly or entirely in the mug.
Eat directly from the mug or gently remove onto a small plate.
Serve plain or with desired accompaniments (frosting, whipped cream, confectioners sugar, ice cream, frozen yogurt).
