Our biggest problem...is nibbling at the cake till its gone. This way, you only bake a smaller cake! You get the great taste of cake, a reasonable sized piece.....and a cake mix makes 3-4 cakes!
Ingredients:
1 cup
cake mix
, any flavor
1
egg
2 teaspoons
vegetable oil
1 -4 tablespoon
water
Pam cooking spray
¼ can
frosting
Directions:
1
Measure out one cup of cake mix.
2
(Put the remaining mix in a zip loc bag in the fridge.) Mix in egg and oil.
3
Put water in 1/4 cup measure.
4
Pour into mix, stirring, a tablespoon or so at at time (I'm at high altitude and use 1/4 cup water, yours will probably need less).
5
Stir until lumps disappear.
6
Spray an 8-10" pie pan with Pam.
7
Put the mix in the pan.
8
Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes or until cake pulls away from side of pan.
9
When cool, frost with frosting.

What a fun little cake. I was skeptical but went ahead since all the other reviews said it really works. It does make a nice size cake. I used 3 Tbsp water and wasn't sure what was the right consistency. It baked 14 minutes and cools very quickly.

WOW!! This recipe is wonderful!! When I first saw that it took only 1 cup of cake mix, I didn't think it would be enough, buy it was I did need to add another tablespoon of water to make it the right consistancy. Other than that,
everything else was just the right amount. I like cake but a whole cake is just too much for me. This size is perfect!! Thanks for a great recipe!!
