Would you like to go from no cupcake to a cupcake in a minute flat?

NOW YOU CAN! (insert flashing lights)

I have the pleasure today of bringing you an amazing giveaway for a sampler pack of Suzy's Cake in a Cup 2010 edition. When I went off to college in *ahem* 1997 my mom tried to think of inventive ways for me to cook the summer I lived in the dorm. That is where her cake in a cup recipe was born. Take cup, add water, stir, bake and DONE.. My roommates and I and then later on Dave all helped her master her recipe. By master I mean she'd send a big honking box of them we would devour them and tell her what we thought. You can find lots of recipes on the web for various ways to make cake in a cup but my mom's is the only one we found that only requires water. She has had 13 years to tweak this recipe to the perfect state it is now. Some recipes even require oil! At that point why not just bake a cake! Who has oil sitting around in their desk drawer?

All you need is
*cup
*spoon
*water
*microwave

Step 1 cake in a cup

This morning for breakfast at work I had red velvet cake. How many people can say that? (you can soon :) )

Step 2 cake in a cup

Add cake and water in a cup

step 3

Stir

step 4

Microwave for one minute and VIOLA! Cake!

step 5

You can dump it out on a plate to eat. (Note how the chocolate settles to bottom this is intentional so you have a nice "iced" cupcake when plated.

step 6

Or you can eat it from the cup at your desk

step 7

Keep your eyes peeled though because it will smell wonderful and people will come ask what is that delectable smell.

step 7

FAQ
1. Are these gluten free?
NO unfortunately they are not. My mom started making them again because I can not make gluten things in my home anymore so this is convenient and only requires one dish. You could still enter and give it as an Xmas gift!
2. Are there other flavors for purchase?
Leave a comment in flavors you would like and my mom can try and work with you on creating your own custom flavor.

My mom will NOT give me this recipe. She is firm on that.

Do they have milk in them? I have a dairy allergy. Instant cupcakes = fab idea. Now I want a cupcake. Heee! :)

This really is a great idea!
hillary said…
Brooke Yes there is dairy. They are not made in a dedicated dairy free facility and chocolate has dairy in it.

You could enter to win as a christmas gift for someone.

This is totally amazing! I wish your mom could ship to Europe (but I guess due to all kinds of food regulations that would never be possible?), I would definately buy the red velvet mix :) Especially since here in the Netherlands we don't even have normal red velvet cake mix =@ And I LOVE red velvet cake :) (just not enough to make a whole cake from scratch by myself for just me :') )
