Cake In A Coffee Cup

(Read all instructions before starting)

1 Cake Mix - any flavor
1/4 Cup Watkins Dessert Mix - any flavor

Place dry cake mix and dry pudding mix into a large bowl and blend well with a whisk. This will be about 4 – 4 ½ cups dry mix and will make 8-9 coffee cup cake mixes. Place ½ cup dry mix into a sandwich bag. Place mix into a corner of the bag and tie it there with a twist tie. Continue making packets until all your dry mix is used.

Flavors:
Lemon Cake Mix- Watkins Lemon Dessert Mix
Yellow Cake Mix- Watkins Vanilla, Lemon or Banana Dessert Mix
Devils Food Cake Mix - Watkins Chocolate or Banana Dessert Mix
Pineapple Cake Mix - Watkins Coconut or Banana Dessert Mix
Butterscotch Cake Mix - Watkins Butterscotch or Chocolate Dessert Mix

Select a large coffee cup. Check it to be sure it holds 1-1/2 cups of water. That way you will be sure you have bought the size the recipe calls for. It can’t have any metallic paint on it because it will be used in the microwave. Places like Wal-Mart and craft stores sell plain cups.

Decorating the cups: Paint on the cup if you like. DecoArt Ultra Gloss Acrylic Enamel is one brand of craft paint that can be made dishwasher safe by baking the painted cup in the oven. (instructions are on the bottle of paint usually).

Glaze mix:
1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar
1-1/2 teas. dry flavoring (Watkins Fruit Dip Mixes, Watkins Hot Cocoa Mixes, Powdered Lemonade Mix, Powdered Orange Breakfast Drink Mix, Watkins Cocoa, . . .use your imagination!)
*Select the flavoring appropriate to the cake you are making.

For the pineapple coconut cake include flaked coconut in a separate bag with instructions to sprinkle it over the frosted cake.

Place the glaze mix ingredients into a sandwich bag and tie into corner of bag. Label this bag “glaze mix” and attach it to the other bag with a twist tie. Place one baggie cake mix and one baggie glaze mix in each coffee cup. Now attach the following baking instructions to each coffee cup.

Bake a cake in a coffee cup! Generously spray inside of coffee cup with Watkins Cooking Spray. Empty contents of large packet into cup. Add 1 egg white, 1 tablespoon Watkins Original Grapeseed Oil and 1 tablespoon water to dry mix. Mix 15 seconds carefully mixing in all the dry mix. Microwave on full power 2 minutes. ( you may not get satisfactory results in a low wattage small microwave). While cake is cooking, place ingredients from “Glaze Mix” into a very small container and add 1-1/2 teaspoons water. Mix well. When cake is done, pour glaze over cake in cup. Enjoy while warm.
