Makes 8 coffee mug cakes
These individual coffee cake mugs are intended to be prepared as dry ingredients in a mug and given as gifts.
Cake Mix
1 spice cake mix, any brand
1 (4 oz.) instant pudding mix (not sugar-free; any flavor, pumpkin spice, vanilla, etc.)
Mix together cake and pudding mixes.
Separate into eight plastic zipped baggies (approximately ½ cup plus 1 Tbsp.).
Label “Cake Mix.”
Glaze Mix
Create 8 separate baggies that contain the following each: 1/3 c. powdered sugar 2 tsp. dried coffee flavoring powder (Coffeemate French Vanilla, Hazelnut or Gingerbread. I prefer Cinnamon Vanilla. Select a flavoring appropriate to the cake you are making and be creative).
Label each baggie “Glaze”.
Select one of eight large, microwave-safe coffee cups that hold at least 2 cups of water.
Place one baggie of cake mix and one baggie of glaze mix in each cup.
Write or print the following instructions on a pretty recipe card and attach the instructions to the mug with a ribbon.
Instructions:
Generously spray inside of coffee cup with cooking spray.
Empty contents of cake mix baggie into cup.
Add 1 egg white, 1 Tbsp. oil, and 1 Tbsp. water to dry mix. Mix with fork for 15 seconds, carefully mixing in all the dry mix.
Microwave on full power for 2 minutes (or longer if your microwave is low-wattage).
While cake is cooking, place ingredients from Glaze baggie into a small container and add 1½ to 2 tsp. water. Mix well.
When cake is done, pour glaze over the cake.
Enjoy while warm.
