How do you figure out how many calories are in 1 TBSP of cake mix?

Take the calories in each serving before cooked and multiply that by number by how many servings it says it has in it. Do the same for both boxes and add them together.

Then look at how many cups there are total (it'll say on the boxes) then divide the number of calories by the number of cups.

Take that number and then divide that by 16, since there are 16 tablespoons in a cup. This will give you how many calories are in a level tablespoon. Since you're using three tablespoons, just multiply that by three.




Edit* Here's an example.

Say your cake mixes are 150 and 200 calories per serving, before baked.

One has 14 servings and one has 16.

150 x 14 = 2,100
200 x 16 = 3,200

Total = 5,300

Say together they have 6 cups.

5,300 / 6 = 883.33... So let's call that 884. (I round up on calories)

884 / 16 = 55.25 calories per tablespoon

55.25 x 3 = 165.75 per serving.

OMG, this is amazing. I just saw this post yesterday and ran out to get the angel food mix to cancel out some of the calories of the double chocolate I had in my cupboard. Did exactly what you said and it's a great reward and going to be my alternative after a party with cake that I refuse (instead of coming home and eating everything in site to overcome that craving). The only thing I was thinking (since I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes), wondeirng if we could juse use the angel food cake and adding a sugar free hot chocolate mix to give that chocolate flavor. Even that, they have mint and carmel flavored hot chocolate..... hmmm... I think I'll be doing more of this and experimenting. Thanks for sharing this!!!

Thanks for doing the math on this! You deserve an A+!
