Our biggest problem...is nibbling at the cake till its gone. This way, you only bake a smaller cake! You get the great taste of cake, a reasonable sized piece.....and a cake mix makes 3-4 cakes!

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup cake mix, any flavor
1 egg
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1-4 tablespoon water
Pam cooking spray
1/4 can frosting

Directions

1
Measure out one cup of cake mix.
2
(Put the remaining mix in a zip loc bag in the fridge.) Mix in egg and oil.
3
Put water in 1/4 cup measure.
4
Pour into mix, stirring, a tablespoon or so at at time (I'm at high altitude and use 1/4 cup water, yours will probably need less).
5
Stir until lumps disappear.
6
Spray an 8-10" pie pan with Pam.
7
Put the mix in the pan.
8
Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes or until cake pulls away from side of pan.
9
When cool, frost with frosting.

WOW!! This recipe is wonderful!! When I first saw that it took only 1 cup of cake mix, I didn't think it would be enough, buy it was I did need to add another tablespoon of water to make it the right consistancy. Other than that, everything else was just the right amount. I like cake but a whole cake is just too much for me. This size is perfect!! Thanks for a great recipe!!

This is great! Makes six good sized cupcakes and tastes just like a "normal cake." Nice because it's just hubby and me- we don't eat an entire two-level cake in a week or so- just not practical. Maybe not low fat but certainly helps keep proportion sizes right- cake mix itself said 12 servings I've already gotten 12 cupcakes out with about another batch or two left. Will use again and again! Thanks!

What a fun little cake. I was skeptical but went ahead since all the other reviews said it really works. It does make a nice size cake. I used 3 Tbsp water and wasn't sure what was the right consistency. It baked 14 minutes and cools very quickly.
