There are a few things in my house that could trigger an emergency response. Of course, if there was the obvious fire, injury, intruder, etc. Then there is the less obvious. Like the lack of chocolate based food products….especially after the kids are in bed and I don’t have to share!
Not an emergency you say?! Ha, check out the definition!

There you have it, folks, a lack of chocolate is totally an emergency!

Mix both cake-mixes together very well.
Put 3 Tbsp of the cake mix mixture into a mug, or mason jar.
Add 2 Tbsp of water and stir. Pop into the microwave for 1 minute on high.

I have made this for years — it’s great. Before zapping in the micro, I add one heaping teaspoon of the pre-made Jello chocolate pudding (from the little cups in the dairy section of the store). Then microwave for 1 minute. Delicious.
Thanks for the tip Paula! 🙂
Great idea to add the chocolate pudding!
We call this 3-2-1 cake and you right, it is PERFECT for chocolate emergencies! Your labels are adorable and would look so cute on an easy to make gift of emergency chocolate cake! 🙂 I have used add-ins to turn my mix into things like pina colada cake and molten lava cake. Thanks for sharing!
