    i'm tryng to wrap my mind around this...i looked up duncan hines angel food cake and duncan hines red velvet cake mix. combined they come to 3840 calories. So how is one to know how many 3 TBL servings are in each box of cake mix in order to determine if they are really 42 calories besides buying a box of mix and sitting down and scooping out TBL after TBL to figure it out...? sounds too good to be true and i'm not willing to put it in my mouth until i can calculate the calories for myself....can anyone help?

    I would weigh the whole mix (2 cake mixes together), then weigh 3 tablespoons and divide. That will tell you how many "3 Tbsp. mix" you will get out of the entire thing. Then divide your calories accordingly.

    Mmmmm I like the sound of that!!!

    Ps, what does "bump" mean? And why are so many people saying it? x

    I had to ask this question once...to my understanding if you don't have any other reply you just reply "bump" so that the post is save under your profile and under your "my topics" section.

    3, 2, 1 Cake

    These individual little cakes are amazing and ready to eat in one minute! They are perfect for whenever you feel like a treat without all the fat and calories that cake can have. Genius idea!

    Servings: 1

    Ingredients:

    1 box Angel Food Cake Mix
    1 box Cake Mix - Any Flavor
    2 Tbsp Water


    Directions:

    In a ziploc bag, combine the two cake mixes together and mix well. For each individual cake serving, take out 3 Tablespoons of the cake mix combination and mix it with 2 Tablespoons of water in a small microwave-safe container. Microwave on high for 1 minute, and you have your own instant individual little cake! Keep remaining cake mixture stored in the ziploc bag and use whenever you feel like a treat! You can top each cake with a dollop of fat free whipped topping and/or some fresh fruit.

    Helpful Tips:

    This recipe is called 3, 2, 1 Cake because all you need to remember is "3 tablespoons mix, 2 tablespoons water, 1 minute in the microwave!" Try various flavors of cake mix like carrot, red velvet, pineapple, lemon, orange, etc. Just remember that one of the mixes has to be the angel food mix; the other is your choice. The flavor possibilities are endless!

    I just made this and put some cool whip and some mandarin oranges on top and it was the perfect sweet snack!
