Notes
Grease or spray a large coffee mug. Add one packet of cake mix plus 1 egg white, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1 tablespoon water; stir with a fork until smooth. Microwave on high 2 minutes. Meanwhile add 1 1/2 teaspoons water to a glaze packet, seal, and knead until smooth. Snip a corner and drizzle over the warm cake. Serve warm.
Storage: dry packets airtight in a cool, dry place about 6 to 12 months (follow the earliest box date). Leftover cake refrigerated within 2 hours, eat within 3 to 4 days.
