3-2-1 Blastoff.... errr I mean Cake


At our PEO meetings, we have a host (opens her home up for the meeting and supplies plates/cups, etc for dessert) and a Co-hostess (supplies the food for the end of the meeting).  A meeting I just so happened to miss, they had what they called 3-2-1 desserts.  I thought, what the heck is that?

OMG, what rock was I living under?  It's the easiest, most simplest (yes it shouldn't be most simplest) recipe ever.

3-2-1 Cake  (3 tbs. mix-2 tbs. water, 1 min. in the microwave)

Ingredients: 1 packaged angel food cake mix and 1 regular cake mix, flavor of your choice.
                                2 tbs. water

Directions:   Place both mixes in a 1 gal. zipper bag and mix thoroughly.  Be sure to break up any lumps.



To make a single serving, mix 3 tbs. of the zipper bag with 2 tbs. of water in a microwave safe coffee cup or mug.  

Due to the angel food mix this will bubble and become frothy.  Place in microwave for 1 minute.

Obviously we chose a chocolate cake mix.  We served ours with ice cream.  My PEO friend though, she did a lemon cake mix and for a glaze used some Splenda Powdered Sugar with some lemon juice.

This is perfect for the kiddo's.  As long as they can count, they can make cake :).  And it's super easy to keep on hand and make in the blink of an eye.  Enjoy!

So technically you don't "bake" this but I'm still linking up with these cool chicks!
