My W.W. leader today said that this is usually 3 points. It mostly depends on the type of cake mix you use.

Do you have to use the angel food or can you use any two mixes?

Angel Food Cake needs to be one of the mixes for this recipe. I've also been having trouble getting the mix and water ratio right, and I'm down to 45 seconds in a coffee mug, to be fully baked and no burn/dry spots. We topped it with a chocolate cream frosting. I'm going to try chunky applesauce mixed with powdered sugar or whipped cream.

This is a great way to send a treat to those serving in the Middle East. The Hugs Project sends 50 boxes per week and we're going to start making up this recipe into snack bags along with the recipe for our troops. We sent each of them a ceramic coffee mug for Christmas. Not all of them have access to a microwave but some do and the others can save it until they get back to a real base with electricity. WOOHOO!!! We tried it out last week and it's a good way for them to receive a "homemade" treat.

A friend of mine told me about this a few weeks ago. I made mine with Lemon cake and it's great. I add a spoonful of frosting on top when it comes out so it melts. Used it the other day in a strawberry shortcake dessert.

I don't have a microwave, can I make this in a regular oven?

What would be the calorie intake with no icing added?

I made this tonight with Devil's Food Cake mix and topped with sliced strawberries. Really good, and JUST THAT EASY! I am looking for accurate calorie info, though...Does anyone know that?

Tried this recipe yesterday with our club members and was amazing! Baked in a coffee mug or paper cup (ex-large)

The instructions do not say what to use to bake this cake. Should it be glass like a coffee cup, custard cup or small cereal bowl? Should be bowl be deep or shallow and do you need to grease the container before adding the batter?

I heard a similar recipe on the radio and they said to use a coffee cup. I would imagine a mug. But they used three different cake mixes and put it in a coffee cup. Hope this helps.

I used a Corelle 6 oz. (small soup dish) and did not grease it. Made it with the angel food cake and chocolate cake - frosted it with Buttercream frosting! Good.
