Ingredients:
- 1 box Angel Food Cake mix
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- Non-stick spray
- Water
- 48 Chocolate squares (2 per mug)
- 8 Shelf-safe vanilla pudding snack packs (1 individual snack pack container per 3 mugs)
Instructions:
- In a gallon-sized ziplock bag, combine the two boxes of cake mix. Shake the bag to mix thoroughly.
- If using a microwaveable mug, lightly coat the inside with non-stick spray (without the spray the cake will not transfer out of the mug) or use a microwave-safe paper cup.
- Into the prepared mug or paper cup, stir together 3 tablespoons of cake mix and 2 tablespoons of water. Drop two chocolate squares, then 1 tablespoon of pudding, into the center of the batter.
- Microwave on high for 40 seconds to 1 minute. (The pudding heats quickly and can cause the mug cake to pop. In my microwave, 40 seconds cooked the cake, any longer and the cake popped.)
- The cake can be eaten right out of the mug/paper cup. If you want to transfer the cake onto a plate, run a knife between the cake and the mug to loosen, then dump out onto a plate. The melted chocolate can be spread with a knife across the top of the cake, to resemble a Boston Cream Pie.
Tips:
- This cake is best eaten right from the mug or paper cup in which it is cooked. It can be turned out onto a plate, but doesn’t always hold together.
- For care package use, pour the two cake mixes into a gallon-size zip lock bag labeled with directions, add a bag of chocolate squares, snack packs of shelf-safe vanilla pudding, a measuring spoon, and a package of microwave-safe paper cups or a can of non-stick spray.
- Every microwave is different, so cooking times may vary. The key is to avoid overcooking, which can cause the pudding to overheat and the cake to pop.
