No, 1-2.3 means 3 TBS of the cake mixture, mixed with 2 TBS of Water, cook 1
minute in microwave. Angel Food Cake that I use in this is a cake mix, then
add the cake mix flavor I like. mix the dry ingredients togethe well and
store in a jar or plastic bag to use.

Oh! So, you can take any cake mix (including your own?), use those
measurements and cook it in the microwave?

Actually that sounds as if it could be really useful !

I think D. might be in for a big shock the next time we go shopping lol I
never go down that aisle)
