1 small box chocolate instant pudding mix
8 microwave-safe mugs 1 1/2 to 2 cup size

Directions

Stir the cake mix and pudding mix together. Spoon 1/2 cup into each small bag and label it "Cake Mix.
For each mug, put 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee in a separate bag labeled "Glaze Mix," then fasten it to a cake mix bag with a twist tie.

Notes

Spray the inside of a mug, empty one cake mix packet into it, add 1 egg white, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1 tablespoon water; mix well. Microwave on HIGH 2 minutes. Stir 1 teaspoon water into the glaze mix and pour over the warm cake. Serve warm.
