Definitely NOT zero points, but delish!!
I used the sugar-free chocolate cake mix (which is hard to find) and took the time to do all of the calculations. My version (SF choc) has 3 points+

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

Calories per Ingredient
Here are the foods from our food nutrition database that were used for the nutrition calculations of this recipe.

Calories per serving of 3, 2, 1 Cake (105)

59 calories of Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix, 1/12 mix, (0.33 serving)

46 calories of Betty Crocker Angel Food Cake Mix 1/12 pkg (38g mix), (0.33 serving)

http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calories.asp?recipe=1843964

Would this calculation be for ANY cake mix? or just for the dark chocolate fudge?

The calories would be different depending upon what flavor of cake you use.You would have to figure 1/12 of the total calories.

I can see myself at the grocery store this weekend calculating out what 1/12 of a cake mix would be to find the lowest and best tasting one!

This sounds so yummy!!! I do have a 5 minute cake recipe (it includes prep time) but it is probably higher in calories then this.

I haven't read through all of the responses yet, but did some quick calculations of my own, and here's what I found...

1 box of cake mix is approx. 456g X 2 boxes = 912 grams

I did assume cake mix weighs the same as flour (120g/cup). There are 16 Tablespoons per cup, so there are 7.5g/Tablespoon (120 / 16). Which works out to 121Tablespoons for both boxes of cake mix (900 / 7.5), and a serving size of 22.5g (3 Tablespoons..7.5x3).

I put two boxes of dry cake mix (I used BC Angelfood and BC Choc Fudge) into the MFP recipe builder and put the serving size at 40 (121 / 3) and came up with the following:

Cal: 82
Carbs: 18
Fat: 0
Protein: 1
Fiber: 0

It put this into my WW calculator and it comes out to 2, not Zero.
