Thankfully, this past Saturday at my Weight Watchers meeting, my members started talking about an old recipe that I had forgotten about until now. It's called a 3 - 2 - 1 cake and it is perfect for anyone who is trying to watch what they eat, but still enjoy foods that they love!! The best part is that each individual cake is only 2 pointsplus per cake!!
 |
| The ingredients |
 |
| You will need 3 tablespoons of any kind of dry cake mix and 2 tablespoons of water. |
 |
| Mix the ingredients together into a mircowave safe container. I used one of my favorite mugs! |
 |
| Microwave for 1 minute. Please excuse my dirty microwave!! |
 |
| After just one minute you've got an individual serving of cake!! |
 |
| I took the 3 - 2 - 1 cake out of the mug, so that you could see what it looks like after it's cooked. |
 |
| Feel free to top your cake with Fat Free whipped topping and/or fresh fruit! I hope you enjoy this fun summer treat!! |

Do you think this would work for gluten free cake mixes?
I recently found your blog and it has been so helpful, inspirational to me! i believe I will have to make a 3-2-1- cake today for a treat in this heat! Thanks so much!
Anonymous - I have not tried this with gluten free cake mixes. If you do, please let me know how it turns out!
The recipe I heard for this had a box of cake mix and a box of angel food cake mix mixed together. 3 tbps of that mix, 2 tbps of water and 1 min in microwave.
I heard the same as Shawna... But it looks the same... I know what I am trying tonight... Thanks
So does it need the angel food cake for it to work?
Anonymous - This recipe does not need Angel Food cake to work.
No it does not need the angel food cake mix but since the AFC mix has powdered egg, it makes it lighter and fluffier! I have tried it both ways but definitely prefer the AFC mix recipe! And it tastes great with AFC and red velvet!

That coffee mug looks like a nightmare to clean. Was it? I guess it wouldn't be too hard to line the mug with wax paper. It otherwise sounds like a fabulous idea.
I make them in little ramekins. A little pam spray helps make clean up a breeze.
