    List of Ingredients




    1 cake mix any flavor
    1 ( 4 serving size) instant pudding mix ( not sugar free), 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 1/2 cups dry mix and will make 8 - 9 coffee cup cake mixes.
    Place a 1/2 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.


    Flavor suggestions:
    Lemon cake mix- lemon pudding
    Yellow cake mix- vanilla pudding
    Devils food cake mix- chocolate pudding
    Pineapple cake mix- coconut pudding
    Butterscotch cake mix- butterscotch pudding

    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.
    Retail stores, dollar stores 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).
    Another idea is to find decorated cups at the same stores as above...
    you can usually find tons of them!

    Glaze mix
    1/3 cup powdered sugar
    1 1/2 tsp dry flavoring ( such as powdered lemonade mix, powdered
    orange breakfast drink mix, cocoa powder)
    Vanilla powder sold by coffee flavorings (or use French Vanilla CoffeeMate)
    Select the flavoring appropriate to the cake you are making.


    Example:.
    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.

    To put together:
    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 mug!

    Generously spray inside of coffee cup with cooking spray.
    Empty contents of large packet into cup.
    Add 1 egg white, 1 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp 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 tsp water. Mix well.
    When cake is done, pour glaze over cake in cup.
