3-2-1 Cake
Last summer at a college roommate retreat, my wonderful roommate Vicki Topliff shared this fun, easy and tasty recipe with us. I thought it would be a great gift to give to your children’s teachers, neighbors or friends. The gift cost $1.25 and takes very little time to assemble.
SUPPLIES:
- You will need a cake mix of your choice (mine is always chocolate). Half of the box will fit in the mug—so you get 2 gifts out of each box. (Add 3 tsp cornstarch to your box of cake mix to give a light and fluffy texture and eliminate the need for eggs.)
- A mug (I got mine at a thrift store for 50 cents)
- A plastic bag (a Ziploc sandwich or quart bag will work or a seasonal treat bag)
- A 3x5 card for the recipe
- Ribbon to decorate the bag
ASSEMBLING:
- Put half of the cake mix in the bag.
- Put the bag in the mug
- Tie the top of the bag with the ribbon
- Attach the recipe
RECIPE:
- 3 tablespoons cake mix
- 2 tablespoons water
- Mix with a spoon in the mug until well blended
- 1 minutes on high in the microwave
- Yield: 1 cupcake size cake
ENJOY:
- Top with ice cream or berries or both
- A half a cake mix will make 12 cupcakes—many days of fun and enjoyment.
