    My entire family loves this recipe! We call it 3-2-1 cake though, as it helps everyone remember the directions. 3 Tbs mix, 2 Tbs water and 1 minute in microwave. I love nutella and I usually drop a spoonful into the mix before I throw it in the microwave. Comes out great! - 6/7/12

    Really like this recipe, great to be able to eat a single serving of cake without having a whole baked cake sitting around :) I decided to follow LISALOSINGLISA's idea and call it 3-2-1 cake so I can remember the instructions easily :) - 10/21/12

    This is so AWESOME! Great for when you just have to have cake, but don't want to bake a whole cake...or if your family is having a whole cake, but you want to behave and yet not feel deprived. I'm so glad someone else did the math! - 3/13/12

    BEACHWALKER1P1, I'm thinking that the very high egg white content of angel food cake mix is necessary for this to work in the microwave. Every copy of this recipe stresses that I've seen stressed that one of the mixes must be AF cake. - 5/25/13

    I give this one a "5". It's quick, easy, good and you only make one serving at a time. Great idea and kudos to whoever came up with it. Thank You - 4/24/13

    Not the texture I was hoping for, but still pretty good. Super simple and tasty though! Still beats having an entire cake sitting on the counter! - 3/25/13

    Delicious! I've been trying all kinds of mug cakes, but they have too many ingredients and are too dense. This was perfect...plus I can add fruit, nutella, etc. FYI, you have to use the AF cake b/c it's the only mix with egg whites included, which will bind everything together. - 3/5/13

    is the angel food cake mix important or can you do this with just 1 box of regular cake mix? - 3/3/13

    I love these little cakes. I measured out my mix before I started making them and I only got 34.66 servings so maybe different cake mixes have different amounts of mix in them.With the counts on my boxes mine were 104 calories before additions. - 11/11/12
