Single Serving Cupcake In A Mug

If you are anything like me, from time to time you get a hankering for a cupcake...or any cakey item.

My friend Deb Clark told me about a quick and easy recipe for a one serving cupcake.  It's so easy that I admit I was skeptical.  It calls for one box of angel food cake mix and one box of a cake mix of your choice.  This time, I used strawberry.  I combined the dry mixes in a large bowl, then poured it a large ziplock bag.  

To make a single serving, use 3 TBSP of mix to 2 TBSP of water and mix well in a mug, then microwave on high for 1 minute.

This is what was in the mug when done! A fully cooked cupcake!!!!!!!  

Add a little icing and sprinkles and voila!  One cupcake that's lighter and far less greasy than using just a cake mix, and you don't have 18 cupcakes sitting around, tempting you to eat them!
Total win!!
