42 Calorie Cake!

I got 110 calories. Wish I would have calculated it myself first- I've been doubling this recipe all weekend thinking I was eating less than 100 calories for both servings

I guess it could depend on cake mixes, but the angel food mix I have would still be way more than 42 calories even if you just do that. I'm using betty crocker angel food mix (yes, the one that you just mix with water) and betty crocker yellow cake.

Here's how I figured it:

Box of yellow cake mix is 36 tablespoons
10 servings in the box at 160 calories each (mix only)
For the entire box of mix, it's 1600 calories
That's 44 calories per tablespoon

Box of angel food cake mix has 38 tablespoons
12 servings in the box with 140 calories each
For the entire mix, it's 1640 calories
That's also 44 calories per tablespoon

1 1/2 tablespoons of yellow cake mix= 66 calories
1 1/2 tablespoons of angel food mix=66 calories
Total=132 calories

I knew 42 calories for that much cake had to be too good to be true!

Yup, I was just doing some searching online and using the calorie counts on the Betty Crocker website, I came up with something similar (keeping in mind that I didn't actually measure anything out, just estimated as best I could). I used the calorie counts from chocolate cake and from angel food and came up with about 48 calories per tbsp of the "mixed" cake mix, or 144 per 3 tbsp.of the mix.
That being said, if it actually tastes good (I haven't tried it), it's better than most other cakes you're ever going to get. But don't under-estimate those calories!
