I can't wait to try this too. DH is diabetic, and can have small amounts of sweets but if I bake a whole cake, guess who eats the whole thing?? NO such thing as willpower here.
Thanks for a great idea!

Tried it tonight I used a paper coffee cup. Couldn't believe how fast this cooked,. Vey nice I got lemon cake mix will get a chocolate next time.

thanks again everyon I've sent it to is excited about it

My favorite so far is chocolate fudge mix. Red velvet didn't have much flavor. I had two servings of the choc fudge, it was yummy! Each serving only has 50 calories.

what if you don't have a microwave? Could I do this in a turbo oven?

I love lemon, so I'll have to give it a try!

I'm surprised, no oil or egg needed. Oh, I do understand the Angelfood has eggs. Sounds good. I'll try it tonight. DH loves sweet snacks after dinner.

What an interesting idea. I must try it. .Thanks.

I think it is worth a try anyway see how it turns out and let us know.

I wonder if it would work if I substituted brownie mix for the second cake mix? Any thoughts?

We are getting ready to start traveling in our Motorhome and I think this would be so nice to have for quick desserts. I can forsee keeping some canned frosting in the fridge......

Thanks for sharing.

Angel food cake has just egg whites...so that is a good thing.

Today I got two boxes of Angel Food mix (2.50 each) - there were only four boxes on the shelf - and a Strawberry and a Double fudge (or something like that) I'm going to make up the mixes to have on hand The cake mixes were 1.28 each and I see Betty Crocker has some Sugar Free mixes.
As I said before the lemon mix was ok but not great /

@ saralee123: I tried it with brownie mix, and it works just fine. You might have to give it an extra five seconds in the microwave, but the results were terrific.

Oh, and the chocolate chips that came in this mix didn't hurt, either... :-)

I tried it with a chocolate devils food cake and it tasted like a souffle! I loved it. I put it in a small pyrex cup and it actually overflowed in the microwave a bit so I'm going to use a bigger bowl next time. I ate it warm and was so surprised. I loved the light but sweet taste. What a treat.

I tried it with chocolate cake mix, which was good, but a little bit bland. Next time I'll use the chocolate fudge. I also made one with pineapple cake mix and it was delicious! I used a coffee mug for one and a small Pyrex bowl for the other. Both worked very well and cooked perfectly. Thanks for a fantastic recipe!

Saxdiva, I just tried the brownie mix with walnuts - mmmmmmmm.... Next time, it will be the one with chocolate chips. Whoever came up with the 3-2-1 idea deserves a BIG round of applause!

Tried it in the turbo oven. I bought a white cake mix with the angel food mix. It took about 3 minutes in the turbo oven and the top was nicely browned. I brought some in a container to work and use the microwave there, I prefer the result from the turbo oven. All in all a great easy dessert!

I have been wondering about using brownie mix. Thanks for testing it out for us :) I can't wait to try it tonight.

Since the recipe was posted on here a couple of weeks ago it has been my after dinner snack almost every night. Yes, whoever came up with this idea is my hero! And only 50 calories!

It seems like the chocolate cake or brownie mix is the best. Will be trying it tonight.

I finally got around to trying the 3-2-1 cake. I used Duncan Hines Chocolate along with the Angel food cake. Don't care for the spongy texture at all, but the taste was okay. I have a feeling I will have that mix for a very long
time.

I tried it with a Spice cake mix and it was very good!

I started out with a cherry cake mix with the angel food and it was really tasty......moist and flavorful.
Today I made one using a chocolate cake mix and it was dry.
I will try using some juice instead of water next time.
Next time I am at the 99 Cent Store I plan on getting some frosting in a can to use with the chocolate one.
Thanks for posting the recipe!

Tonight I tried carrot cake and put a dollop of canned cream cheese frosting. Very good, but slightly spongy. My favorite is chocolate fudge. I tried brownie mix and found it to be dry.

I made this just this morning with a chocolate devils food cake. Made it in a corelle mug and when done, the mug was about 3/4 full. Turned it out on a plate, put some cream cheese frosting on it & a bit of strawberry. It was VERY good.

Here is a link that might be useful:

Tried it with white cake, whipped cream and strawberries! Yum!
Tried it with strawberry cake mix,whipped cream and strawberries! Double yum! LOL

I did find in my microwave I need to put them off center, and only set it for 50 seconds, a minute was too much and made a brown spot in the center of the cake that was hard. We still ate it though! LOL 50 seconds was perfect!

it is spongy! we laughed at it! lol but it's not unlike the spongyness of the angel food cake. The holes are just bigger! lol I used orange cake mix and with the 2T of orange juice... yummy for just a little sweet thing! lol

I'm with Jude 31, didn't care for the texture. Fortunately, I used a butter cake mix along with the angel food (I love butter cake!), so I think I'll make up a bunch of them and serve them with strawberries and whipped cream. They should taste fine that way.

I bought my mixes today, I will be trying it very soon.
I bought devils food cake.

Did everyone ice their cake? Are you using a coffee mug or what?

Has anyone tried baking these in a flat bottom ice cream cone?
I think these would be great, topped with frosting.
Dolly

I used a clear glass small flat bottomed baking dish that the sides were tall enough for it. I made the lemon one twice and then passed the bag of mix on to Amber. I have not mixed up anymore but plan to just use a yellow cake mix and then add things to it. I don't think I would like mine in an ice cream cup, but that is just me. I have not put any frosting or anything on the ones I baked, but plan to when I get around to it again. I thought they were very good.

Joanne, I made mine in what I think they call custard dishes?
sorta like this, there are clear dishes, amber colored dishes, but all about the same size.

Thanks Thistledew for posting this delicious little recipe.Everybody that I told about it has loved it, bravo..

June

Loved this using carrot cake. Also added the pulp left over from squeezing grapefruit & oranges. Yum!!!!!

With only 2 of us plus I can get bored with the same flavor all the time, I'm going to measure differently! Will empty AF into a bag by itself. Then empty different cake flavors into their own separate bags. Then we can use 1 1/2 tablespoons of AF & 1 1/2 tablespoons of desired cake mix & continue. That way we can have a different flavor each nite.

Can't wait to try brownie, pineapple, lemon with lemon zest and juice instead of water & whatever looks interesting.

Thanks so much for sharing this

hayri, that's a really good idea...I was going to suggest to mix it in half but I like your idea much better! I make a flax meal muffin for the microwave all the time and it works great...one minute in a coffee cup is perfect. I'm anxious to try this but I don't have the AF mix yet! I had wanted to make the other coffee cup cakes but I'd always heard people say it was too much egg so I just skipped it.

I just mixed up the yellow sugar free one with the two part angel food cake mix and baked it with two tablespoons of diced peaches in light syrup. It was really, really good. Some Cool Whip on top would have been very good also.

Sue

I went to the store yesterday. Publix had a BOGO on Duncan Hines cake mixes, but it didn't apply to angel food, so I got a coconut and a lemon. Then I looked for an angel food mix and there wasn't one to be had of any brand.

I think the KT must have a lot of Florida lurkers!! ;-)

Hayri- . Actually, I was thinking along the same line last night. I made chocolate fudge with the AF and since there is only me I am getting tired of it.Great idea. Thanks.
Lois

This cake is going around and is on Pinterest too which is very popular. That's probably why AF cake mix is hard to find. The distributors are probably scratching their heads wonder why the sudden demand for AF cake mix...HA!

Patti, I couldn't find angel cake mix in my Pathmark last week or this week either! But finally did in another store - I sent to my granddaughter in college and look forward to when she receives the package and tries it.

I pinned it on Pinterest and it's huge there. Have not tried it yet but my daughter gave me a mix last night with chocolate cake/angel food which I'll try before I buy my own flavor.

Blast from the past! Do y'all remember this? I was searching for something on Google today and for some reason this popped up. I remember making a few of them.

Not only do I remember it, but DH still makes one or two a week for himself. He's an awesome cook, but doesn't really bake. Until we discovered the 3-2-1 cake. We always have at least three types mixed up and he'll make a cake and top it with ice-cream for dessert.

I thought the chocolate needed more flavor, so I added 4 or more tablespoons of cocoa powder to the zip lock bag of cake mixes.

I just ran across this...I'll be baking tonight lol. Yum

Well, I remember this, and that I made it. But I've forgotten whether I liked it or not, so will just have to do it again!

I forgot about this cake but will be putting the cake mixes on my grocery list.! Glad it was revived!

Shhh- sometimes I just ate the batter without baking!

Lol Lisa and what's the problem with that? Hiding my spoon...

I will have to do a couple of these. We don't have sweets much because of diabetes but our numbers have been so good lately we may celebrate.

Don't eat the batter..actually don't eat any raw batter. Theres been a strain of nasty E Coli in flour and products containing flour going around the country. Been quite a few very sick people.
