This recipe works like magic. Once you prepare the basic dry mix, your ten year old will be able to do this all on his/ her own. All it takes is a minute to mix water into the cake mix, and another minute in the microwave oven. Before you can say ‘abracadabra’ the cake is ready to eat!
To Prepare the Cake Mix–
- 2 cups of any store bought Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix
- (The Gluten Free Fudge Brownie Mix also works)
- 1 cup of my “Grandma’s Gluten Free Flour Mix” (see Basics, or scroll to the top of the Cakes, Cookies and Desserts Section.
- 1 Tablespoon cocoa
- 1 Tablespoon sugar, or to taste (my grandkids prefer it without any sugar added—ready mixes are highly sweetened)
- 3 teaspoons Egg Replacer
- 1 level teaspoon baking soda
Store mix in a clean, dry container.
Note: I add “ Grandma’s GF Flour Mix” for better texture and for adding some nutrition. It also reduces the excessive sweetness of ready mixes.
To Make the Cake
- 3 Tablespoons prepared Cake Mix
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon oil
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Add a little extra water if mixture is too thick. Spoon mixture into two small ramekins, or in a microwave safe cereal bowl. Microwave for one minute.
Let cool for a couple of minutes, and ENJOY.
Tastes great topped with whipped cream or ice cream.

- 3 teaspoons Egg Replacer (Alternately, use 2 teaspoons baking powder)
- 1 level teaspoon baking soda.
Mix all dry ingredients well and store in a clean, dry, airtight container.
