3-2-1 CAKE

3 ingredients, microwavable, GOOD! I found this recipe somewhere, but I go to SO many recipe sites, I can't remember where. This is a VERY easy, VERY good, VERY quick, single serve cake! Your choice of flavors. I prefer Chocolate! The 3-2-1 comes from 3 tablespoons cake mix, 2 tablespoons water and 1 minute in the microwave. You can make it a little bigger by adding more cake mix and a little more water to cake battter consistency. I made this for the hubby and he loved it! Going to try other flavor cake mixes with it too. Made the chocolate cake and topped it with sliced sugared strawberries! Whipped cream, ice cream and toppings, even icing would be good toppers!

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18.25 ounce) package pineapple flavored cake mix
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 (21 ounce) can strawberry pie filling
2 eggs
½ cup water
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
  • In prepared pan, combine cake mix, oil, eggs, and water. Stir together until cake mix is moistened, breaking up any large lumps in the batter and spreading to cover bottom of pan. Spoon on pie filling to form strips evenly spaced over batter, but not too close to edge of pan. Gently fold batter over pie filling, creating a swirl pattern and spreading out to form an even layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
  • For the topping: Mix together the crushed pineapple and instant pudding. Refrigerate for 5 minutes, or until thickened. Fold in whipped topping, then spread over cooled cake. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use the right ingredients: Make sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results. This means using real butter, not margarine, and fresh eggs, not egg substitutes.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: This is especially important for baking, as even a small difference in the amount of an ingredient can affect the outcome of the cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature and for the right amount of time: The temperature and baking time will vary depending on the recipe, so be sure to follow the instructions carefully.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
