      Math is not my thing...i'm sitting here trying to figure this out and its driving me batty.

      Total ounces of the 2 boxes is 31.25

      I'm new here, and I've seriously never done this before.

      If you have a food scale measure out 3 tablespoons and weigh it. Divide the ounces of the two boxes by the ounce of the three tablespoons and that will give you your amount of servings. Next go to food then recipes, enter both cake mixes and the amount of servings and that will give your calories.

      Should I cook it in my Easy Bake Oven?

      This sounds fabulous! How do you know it is only 42 calories? I just want to be sure.

      42 CALORIES IS WRONG! 100-110 CALORIES is closer


      Another wrinkle .....Betty Crocker is now making their cake mixes 17% smaller.

      If you use diet soda it adds better flavor =]

      i am going to try this. it sounds do-able even if it is more than 42 calories. i recently baked yellow cupcakes & w/o icing they were 150calories each.

      okay so if the 3 tablespoons come out to 1.20 oz
      and the 2 boxes total 31.25oz

      is 0.0384 the number i should be inputting in the recipe thing?

      and do i select: OF "1 package" - in the drop down?

      sounds good... and do-able since you won't have an entire cake at your disposal all at once!

      I tried this - it was pretty good. I made 2 flavors. One turned out WAY BETTER than the other ..... here's why.

      WARNING ...Betty Crocker is making their mixes 17% smaller now. If your cake mixes (angel & flavored) are the SAME size you're good to go. But if you end up with a smaller flavored cake mix & the full size angel food ..... look out. The recipe still works, but the angel food cake flavor is over powering.... the flavored cake mix does not really come thru.
