My Living from Scratch Microwave Cake Quick Fix

I really love cakes and brownies. Problem is if I bake it I eat it and I mean eat it all of it. I loved the Betty Crocker Warm Delights. Those little microwave mixes that you just add water to and then microwave uncovered on High for about 1 minute and 15 seconds or until only a few dime size wet spots remain. There great for those late evening I want something cakey to eat. Problem is I needed a way to make them from scratch. Then I was looking at the Easy Bake Ovens in the toy department with my DGD and a light bulb went off. I found some scratch recipes online for the Easy Bake Oven mixes. Made the mixes up and stored them in the pantry. When I need a quick fix I just mix one up in a microwave bowl pop it in the micro, and I get my fix now from scratch.
