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.
