I'm a firm believer that any cake is a single serving cake if you try hard and believe in yourself, but a little portion control never hurt nobody! Duncan Hines has a line of "Perfect Size for 1" cake cups that come with the ingredients to make an individual serving of cake in the microwave. Even better, the newest flavors include our favorites, Oreo and Chips Ahoy cookies.
There's totally nothing wrong with baking in full quantities, but if you live alone or never want to put your baked goods to waste, these single serving cups are a no brainer item to pick up at the store. You can find them in most mainstream retailers wherever you buy other Duncan Hines treats and mixes and @Junkfoodinthetruck3 saw them at Food Lion for $1.99 each.
Along with having crushed cookies to mix in for texture, these two new flavors include cake batter that matches the cookie. The Oreo cup comes with cookies and cream cake batter and the Chips Ahoy version makes a chocolate chip cake. Each one is ready in about one minute in the microwave so you don't need to wait around for the oven to preheat or the cake batter to mix together like you would if you were cooking from scratch.
With easy-to-make treats like this I always think it's a fun opportunity to make them your own depending on your preference. Since you're saving so much prep time you can go ahead and add some frosting, chocolate syrup, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to pair with your warm cake and it will taste as good as the real thing.
