Notes

  • The angel food cake mix is essential since it contains eggs that make the cake rise correctly.
  • Store the dry mix in a zip-lock bag and write the quick microwave instructions directly on the bag for easy use.
  • Topping ideas include powdered sugar, Nutella, caramel, chocolate candies, marshmallow fluff, fresh fruit, or ice cream.
