- 1 box angel food cake mix
- 1 box lemon cake mix

- nonstick cooking spray
Preparation

- Spray a small custard dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Measure 3 tablespoons of the dry cake mix and place into a greased custard dish.
- Add 2 tablespoons of water and mix with a small fork.

- Slip cupcake out of the custard dish. Cool one minute before enjoying.
Helpful hints
- *Add 2 tablespoons water for each cupcake.
- If desired, may frost with cool whip or a glaze after cupcake is completely cooled.
- One of the cake mixes must be angel food cake. Strawberry cake mix can be substituted for lemon.
- Store dry cake mix in an air-tight container.
- The name 3-2-1 Cupcake indicates 3 tablespoons cake mix, 2 tablespoons water and 1 minute in the microwave.
- The baking powder in cake mix adds to sodium and phosphorus content. If you take phosphate binders to help control phosphorus, ask your dietitian if you need to take a binder with a cupcake snack.
