3-2-1 cake (EASY)
3 Tablespoons mix
2 Tablespoons water

This is so simple and good. Take 1 box Angel food cake mix and 1 box regular cake mix
(any flavor, even sugar free). Combine both mixes in ziploc bag and shake well to mix.
Use amounts listed above for each serving. Cook in ramekin in microwave for 1 minute.
Delicious !!!
Use your imagination to create different cakes. Chocolate cake drizzed with hot fudge and topped with strawberries is good.
Using all white you can pineapple upside down cake by patting dry a slice of pineapple and placing it in the bottom on ramekin before adding batter. Maybe sprinkle a little brown sugar on pineapple before adding batter.
This is a great recipe when you don't want to have an entire cake to eat or possibly waste.
