    Another one off this site I saved> I have not tried yet, I would put in the Recipe Calculator to find out exact Nutrients & Cals

    Mix a box of angel food cake with a box of any flavor regular cake (Vanilla, devils food, red velvet...literally anything)

    Store the dry mix in a Tupperware container.

    Add:

    3 Tablespoons of the dry mix to a teacup or a finger bowl

    2 Tablespoons of water and mix

    Microwave for 1 minute

    3, 2, 1 Cake!

    With my cake mixes I used (Pillsbury angel food and Duncan Heinz red velvet) it came out to be around 39 calories a cake.

    I also added 1 tablespoon of *whipped Pillsbury vanilla frosting for 50 calories. That is all you need and make it much sweeter. So in all, 89 calories a cupcake with frosting.

    Enjoy! You should get something like 60 servings out of the batch.

    Um .... there was a thread on this awhile back .... the cake alone was calculated in the 100 calorie range
    Yeah I just put in Angle Food Cake and Red Velvet Cake (both mixes) and split it out to 60 servings....it brought it to 64 calories a serving. So at the very least each cake would be 64 calories. But still not bad at all...not 39 calories but...still if I had a craving I'd totally do this;)

    Just want to save these for another day!

    I have done the 3, 2, 1 cake and like it. I like that i don't make a whole cake as i am usually the only one in the house that eats it. I also love it warm with cool whip lite or free.

    I have also done the pumpkin one someone suggested and it was delish!

    you can also use Brummel & Brown "made with Yogurt butter" Fat 5g; calories 45 tsp. It is sold at Kroger, or Publix. WalMart stopped carrying it, so don't go there. At least they stop here in KY.

    Yes Flax Ground seed Can be used in place of egg and oil too Read the side of the Cobblestone Mills box it tells u how to do it. It works too, even the family will never know the difference.
