When you just need Dessert

I have to share my recipe for 70 second cake. Imagine - a cake you can whip up while your hubby clears the dinner dishes!

Ingredients:
  • powdered cake mix (ideally one that has "pudding in the mix"), any flavor
  • 1 (4-serving) box of jello instant pudding mix, any flavor
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • Frosting if desired
Directions:
Take the powdered cake mix and powdered pudding mix, and combine the powders in a big ziplock and shake to combine.
Mix 1/2 cup of the powder with egg, water and oil in a microwave safe dish. A large coffee cup or small bowl works great. Microwave on high for 70 seconds, and turn over onto a plate to eat. You can eat it warm or let it cool and frost it.

Voila! Cake for 1 to 2 people. No leftovers to gorge on at midnight. Unless you make more. Label the ziplock with the recipe and keep for the days when you're desperate for cake. Or when you're at the office and want to annoy coworkers with the smell of warm gooey chocolate (or other flavor) cake.
