I was wanting a small serving of cake, but didn't want to make the whole box. This is what I came up with. It came out light and fluffy and hit the spot. I think it could be used with any boxed cake, but I used a Betty Crocker brand. Also, if you decide to use the real egg try beating the whole egg in a separate bowl and then pouring off about half.

Ingredients

1 serv.

cake mix (Save the rest of the mix in a sealed container for later use.)7 tablespoons
nonstick cooking spray
oil3 tablespoons
water↗6 tablespoons
liquid egg substitute or 1/2 egg, lightly beaten↗2 tablespoons

Step-by-step instructions

1
Using a 10 to 16 ounce microwave safe coffee mug, spray the insides with the non stick spray.
2
Add 7 TBS of the box cake mix. (Save the rest of the mix in a sealed container for later use.).
3
Next add the oil and water to the cup and mix thoroughly.
4
Finally, add the egg and mix well.
5
Place in microwave and microwave on high for 3 minutes. The cake may rise above the top of the cup, but don't worry. When finished, check center with a toothpick. If pick comes out clean, then the cake is done.
6
Allow to cool for several minutes and then turn cake out onto a dish or serve right in the coffee mug.
7
Remember microwave strengths may vary and this might alter your time.
