Just two boxed cake mixes stirred together make a big batch of dry mix. Scoop 3 tablespoons, add water, and microwave a single-serving carrot cake in a mug in one minute.

Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz angel food cake mix
  • 1 15.25 oz carrot cake mix

Directions

  • Stir both cake mixes together in a large bowl until they look uniform.
  • Keep the dry mix in a sealed container, mason jar, or portioned bags, with a clear label.

Notes

For one serving: lightly grease a coffee mug or 1/2-pint mason jar with nonstick cooking spray, add 3 tablespoons of the dry mix and 2 tablespoons of water, and stir until smooth. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Let cool at least a minute before eating; eat from the mug or loosen edges and turn onto a small plate.
Optional cream cheese frosting: 4 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat until smooth. Refrigerate prepared frosting 7 to 10 days.
Storage: dry mix in a sealed container or tightly closed bag.
