How to Make Instant Cake For One

  1. In a small bowl, combine both cake mix flavors thoroughly. (If using one flavor, skip this step).
  2. Store the combined cake mix in an airtight container at room temperature for later use.
  3. To make a single-serving cake:
  4. Add 3 tablespoons of the prepared cake mix to a large microwave-safe mug.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons of water to the mug and stir until a smooth batter forms.
  6. Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the cake is cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Microwave ovens vary, so keep an eye on it!
  7. Let the cake cool slightly before adding your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
