Cake in a Coffee Mug

1 (18.25 ounce) box cake mix any flavor
1 small box instant pudding mix (not

Place dry cake mix and dry pudding mix into a large bowl and blend well
with a whisk. This will be about 4 to 4 1/2 cups dry mix and will make 8
or 9 coffee cup cake mixes. Place 1/2 cup dry mix into a sandwich bag.
Place mix into a corner of the bag and tie it there with a twist tie.
Continue making packets until all your dry mix is used.
Suggested Flavor Combinations
Lemon cake mix - lemon pudding
Yellow cake mix - chocolate pudding
Devils food cake mix - chocolate pudding
Pineapple cake mix - coconut pudding
Butterscotch cake mix - butterscotch pudding
Select a large coffee mug. Make sure that it contains no metallic paint
as it will be used in the microwave. Check it to ensure that it holds 1
1/2 cups of water.
Decorating the cups (optional)
Paint on the cup if you like. DecoArt Ultra Gloss Acrylic Enamel is one
brand of craft paint that can be made dishwasher safe by baking the
painted cup in the oven (instructions are on the bottle of paint).
