1 2 3 cake


Where i found this: http://thehiddenpantry.blogspot.com/2011/11/aunt-bettys-1-2-3-cake.html

I've made other cake things using angel food cake that were really simple because angel food cake is like this magical mix lol. You already only need to add water to make a delicious cake, so things like this mug cake makes sense.

All you need is a box of angel food cake and another type of cake mix, i chose to use spice cake because i don't get to have it often, and a little bit of water. In a container that you can put an air tight lid on, mix the two dry cake mixes together. Then after that you just take a mug you want to make the cake in and put 3 TBS of the mix in and stir in 2 TBS of water. Once mixed, put in the microwave for 1 minute.



The mug i used seemed to be a little too big as the cake turned a little dense/over cooked with that amount. I doubled the amount and cooked it for 1 minute still and it turned out a lot better. It's spongy like the angel food cake since it's basically what you are making with another cake mix as a flavoring.


In the end, it works. And is nice for when you want cake but you don't want to make a whole cake that ends up going to waste. That's usually what happens at my house, i want to make cake but then no one wants to eat any. I've only made this the one time, so i still have basically all my mix left. Once that some how gets all ate, or i decide to just dump it, i will try another flavor, maybe a chocolate cake one.

Easy Peanut Butter Cookies


Not sure where they got the recipe, but i got this recipe from a group on facebook that i'm in. This is the recipe:
"Thinking of easy cookies... 1 egg + 1 c. Sugar + 1 c. Peanut butter. Bake @ 350 for 7-12 mins depending on how firm you like them.

I like to use creamy p. butter + 1 Tbs. crunchy. Some times we add chocolate chips too. Its an easy quick sugar fix!"

I wanted to make these because it looked so simple, and it is!
Also because i just happened to actually have everything for this.

I find it a little crazy how just peanut butter, sugar, and an egg can give you a similar to cookie texture. I wouldn't say it's exactly like a cookie, but close enough to call it a cookie. It does seem to taste more peanut buttery than other cookies...but it's been awhile since i've had a normal one.
