    I did the math as well and came close to your nutritional value.

    I like to double check the cal levels. Can you imagine if one would have counted this as 42????!!!! A definite gain would have been happened at future weighins....YIKES!

    Can someone help me figure out the nutritional facts for the cake i made?

    i mixed 2 boxes of cake in a plastic container and shook it and then i put 3tablespoons in a small bowl.

    But when you mix the two together..you don't really know how much of each mix is in your bowl...it could be 99% angel food or 50-50 or 75-25...how do you come up with a number?

    I used Duncan Hines Angelfood and Betty crocker Supermoist butter yellow

    I used the 2 step angel food cake mix and it worked great. Make sure that the two dry cake mixes are mixed up well.

    If you shake the ingredients in the plastic bag really well you can assume you end up with a 50/50 mix. I would probably create a recipe on MFP using the two cake mixes as ingredients, then figure out how many ounces total, and how many ounces are in 3 Tbs (which would be one serving) and let it calculate for me. Example: If the total ounces of both cakes mixes came up to 150 oz. there would be 100 servings of 1.5 oz (avg. weight of 3 Tbs.). NOTE: the weight of 3 Tbs of dry ingredients will vary so weigh it out after you've mixed the two cakes.

    Finally, a good use for algebraic equations! :laugh:

    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.

    You guys need to go back and read through the thread - several people have done the calculations for you. Also, if you enter the ingredients into the recipe part of MFP it will figure it for you.

    you do realize that every cake mix isnt the same, right?

    The calculation for person a's ingredients won't necessarily be the same for person b....

    if person a chooses chocolate cake and person b chooses red velvet...how exactly are the calculations going to be the same?

    ^^ This

    WARNING! Betty Crocker has reduced the size of their cake mixes. New pacakges now weigh 15.25 OZ not 18.4 OZ (I have both sizes in my cupboard ... so this is recent).

    I'm sure both sizes of mix will work........ but maybe Pillsbury mixes are still the bigger size. Calories even more confusing???
