I am currently on the weight watchers diet and when I stumbled across this recipe I was kind of hesitant. It's delicious, zero Points Plus, and it's cake!
1 box of angel food cake mix
1 box of YOUR CHOICE OF CAKE MIX.
** first box has to be angel food cake.
Mix them together well in an ziplock bag or an air tight container.
Now, here's the recipe.. it's literally as easy as 3-2-1...
3 tablespoons of the blended cake mix.
2 tablespoons of warm water.
-mix in a microwave safe coffe cup-
1 minute in the microwave.
You end up with a light, delicious individual cake. I have one almost every night for my dessert. You can even top it off with a little bit of whip cream and a fruit of your choice. ENJOY

Since I have some kind of treat most every night, I'm gonna use this! Thanks0

interesting! could you just use the angel food cake box only?0
-
I'd definitely keep this in mind... I'm glad someone figured it out without having to use diet sprite or whatever... I'd have to find a healthy boxed mix for myself though (not big on processed foods).
Mm, cake. I can imagine... fluffy angel food... MMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....0 -
I believe you can use angel food cake only, since it is naturally low in fat

Sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing! :happy:0

I'm trying this one! Thanks!!0

Sounds delish!0

I have this in my cabinet right now (chocolate plus angel food) and it's delish, BUT
how in any stretch of the imagination would this be 0 WW P+?
I'm a WW from way back and I'm very familiar with the points system. I've seen every way to try to get something for nothing, but I just don't see how this could ever calculate out to be 0 P+.
ETA: If you search the MFP database for 3-2-1 cake, all of the entries have between 100 and 150 calories for a 3 tablespoon serving. Of course there's not enough protein nor fiber in cake mix to bring the P+ down to 0.
Sorry I'm arguing, but I'm assuming you would not want to have misinformation hindering your weight loss efforts.0 -

The new points plus system doesn't use calories. It's based off of fat, fiber, protein, and carbs. I just did the PP calc. for the one with chocolate cake and it's 3 PP and the one with strawberry is 2 PP. The one mixed with Red Velvet is zero. It really all depends on the type of cake you choose.0 -
I'm glad you posted this. I've never used WW but it's good to know that it really does depend on the type of cake you choose. I'll be sure to grab Red Velvet instead of chocolate! lol0

Yes, I realize it doesn't use calories in the formula, BUT anyone who is familiar with WW points can look at a calorie total as well as the macros and probably come close to a points estimate. As you said, it's 2 or 3 and someone else posted the same.
My point is that it's being posted here as 0 points and I think that everyone would want to be aware of what they're eating.
I still find it hard to believe that Red Velvet and Angel Food cake mixes turn out to be 0 points since they're basically flour and sugar, but if that's what people want to track, more power to them!0 -
bump for later and FYI, i just checked the duncan hines website and this is 80 cal per serving0

Sounds awesome!!!!! Can't wait to try, thanks for sharing! 0

I'm not on WW so I don't care about the points part of it, but a mini cake? Sounds amazing and right up my alley!0
