A member shared a great new recipe at my Weight Watchers Meeting. It’s called 3-2-1 Cake. It’s so simple and super low in points. I couldn’t wait to come home and try it. And get this, it actually tastes good.
Ingredients:
1 Box Angel Food Cake Mix
1 Box of Your favorite Cake mix
Water
Crème Brule Ceramic Cup or Coffee Mug
Steps:
1) Add both boxes of cake mix in a zip lock bag. Mix together well.
2) Add 3 tablespoons of cake mix to the cup/bowl
3) Stir in 2 tablespoons of water and mix well
4) Microwave for 1 minute
5) Top with whip cream or cake icing or fruit
Makes 33 servings, Weight Watcher Points Plus = 3
* It’s called 3 2 1 Cake because you use 3 tablespoons of mix, 2 tablespoons of water and 1 minute in the microwave. I learned the “hard” way that sometimes one minute might actually be too long. The first mini cake I made was so hard and crunchy that I had to cut it with a knife. I realized it was over cooked. It finally turned out just right after the 3rd time around with about 40 seconds.

I love microwave cupcakes/desserts/and such, and I really love Angel Food cake, so I will have to give this a shot.
Mary at http://www.fitthisgirl.com posted another take on microwave goodness with a chocolate bran muffin (altered from Dr. Oz)…you may want to give this a try too:
Chocolate breakfast Bran muffin!!
1/4 cup Oat Bran
1 tsp Xylitol (or 1 packet stevia)
1 tsp of baking powder
2 tsp of coconut oil
1 tsp of cinnamon
1 egg
1 tsp chocolate protein powder ( OR VANILLA with 1 tsp of mini chocolate chips)
Mix ingredients and put in a coffee cup, microwave for 45 seconds, tip cup over and it will slide right out, top with honey or fruit and enjoy!!

When I figured out the points using Betty Crocker Lemon Cake and Angel Food cake it was 4 pp per cake. So I think you should make a note that it varies based on cakes used… and I also figured out the servings to be 28… based on weight not volume as the cake mix can be clumped together.
