It's Pinspired Friday! {3-2-1 Cupcakes in a Cup}

It's time for...

I am visiting my parents this week, and Mama LOC showed me this other alternative "few ingredient dessert", similar to my pumpkin muffins. Like the pumpkin muffins, these cupcakes in a cup have only three ingredients, and even better, a simple recipe formula - 3, 2, 1.

So why is this pinspiring? Is pinspiring even remotely a word? I put this in Pinspired Friday as I have seen very similar recipes on Pinterest, but have never given them a try. I've always wondered how they would taste, and I've always thought they would be a good alternative to a whole bunch of cupcakes that I'd just have to eat. ;) Hopefully, you'll share Mama LOC's recipe on Pinterest too so that others can try out the magical 3-2-1 cupcakes in a cup! :)

Here's what you'll need:
•  A box of angel food cake mix
• A box of funfetti cake mix (or any flavor you like...we like funfetti!)
• Water

You'll also want:
• A microwave
• A mug
• A tablespoon

And... that's it! How easy, cheap and awesome is that?

First, dump your angel food cake  mix and funfetti cake mix into a resealable bowl, and mix the flavors well. You can make a LOT of cupcakes in a cup out of these two mixes so make sure you can put your lid on tight to avoid it spoiling. Now, here's where the 3-2-1 comes in.

3 - add three tablespoons of mix to your mug.
2 - add two tablespoons of water to your mug and mix.
1 - cook for 1 minute in the microwave! (Mama LOC's microwave is older - you may find that 45 seconds will be adequate but 3-2-1 sounds so much better than 3-2-45. ;)

Here is the water and mix before you mix it up...

Cook it up (told you the microwave was old! ;)

And presto! A yummy, easy and low fat treat in less than a minute. Now, if you're like me, the angel food smell threw me off when I took it out of the microwave...but the taste is AWESOME...

And it's even better with a little cream cheese on top! :)

Thanks for following along! :) Let me know how these turned out for you! :)
