Easy Two Ingredient Cake Recipes

If you want quick and simple dessert in the evening, two ingredient cake recipes are a great way to make one spending only a few minutes in the kitchen.

Easy 2 Ingredient Cake Recipes

Two Ingredient Cake Recipes

I love these 2 ingredient cakes! This recipe is one I haven’t seen before. It doesn’t call for any eggs, oil or water.

Two Ingredient Cake Recipe Using Ice Cream

1 pint of ice cream, very soft
1 cake mix

Use any combination of ice cream or cake mix that you want. Mix them and bake according to box directions. Frost or drizzle with glaze.

 

 

If you missed my other post for a 2 ingredient cake, here it is again.

Two Ingredient Cake Recipe Using Pop

1 can pop (soda)
1 cake mix

Mix and bake according to directions.

You can use 7-Up with a white cake or lemon cake, cherry coke with chocolate cake. Try any combination you want!

Hmm. Orange or strawberry pop with white cake might be good! Top with mandarin oranges or strawberries and whipped topping.

If you use diet pop, you would have a low-calorie dessert.

      Anne another thing you might use the ice cream for is to make up some jello and in place of the cold water whisk in the same amount of ice cream instead. This use to be one of my kids favorite desserts. It is good anytime but is especially nice during summer when you don’t want a hot kitchen. You can use any flavor of jello you want. So easy.

      February 16, 2012 at 3:30 pm

      It really isn’t that much liquid if you think that it is replacing the liquid of about 2-3 eggs(which is about1/2-3/4 a cup liquid) and another 1/4 -1/2 cup of oil and then water on top of that that the mix usually calls for. So it is almost the exact same amount of liquid. Then you just bake it like the directions on the cake mix says too.

    We have a favorite simple cake. Triple Chocolate Cake. Make up a box of cooked chocolate pudding. Mix into the chocolate cake mix. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle half cup chocolate chips and cook as directed on the box.

    This can be done with Lemon Cake, Lemon Pudding and Vanilla chips. And other combinations. My daughter-in-law requests it for my grandchildren’s birthdays.

    Very moist cakes!

        You use the softened ice cream for the first recipe and the cake mix and pop (soda) and cake mix for the second recipe. The ice cream and pop are the liquid for the recipe. These cakes have a little bit different texture but they are really really good.

    Got company coming need a quick reply?! Jill does the jello ice cream recipe just mean the little packets of flavoured gelatin crystals because I think there’s also a company that do instant puddings by the same name. And for the choc cake recipe in the comments think its triple choc – does bake as instructions on box mean add all the eggs etc that the cake box says?
    Thanks :)

    • Jill

      February 17, 2012 at 2:25 pm

      Diana it is just Jello or you can use an off brand gelatin (packets of flavored gelatin crystals). When they say bake as instructions on box that means the temperature settings (usually 350 degrees about) and the amount of time it takes to bake.

    The pudding replaces the eggs, oil and anything else the box states. You cook the cake for the same time and the same temperature as on the box.

    Cake mix, cooked pudding and chips are you need to go in the prepared pan.

    I made this cake recipe yesterday using a yellow cake mix and dulce de leche flavored ice cream. Squeezed caramel flavored ice cream syrup as a glaze over the top. Used a bundt pan. Batter was very thick and cake texture was almost like a pound cake. Will try lemon cake and ice cream next time, should have more flavor.

      You are right Pam. The texture is different from your regular box mix. They usually seem to be more moist and a little denser. These recipes are good for beginning cooks or when teaching someone to cook, to see that using the right or different ingredients does change the way a cake turns out.

    Sheri, do you make the pudding according to instructions and when chocolate pudding is ready in a bowl you just mix it with chocolate cake mix? Is that all? Sorry, because my mother tongue is Portuguese and maybe I misunderstood something… I need to understand it fully because I WANT TO MAKE this triple chocolate cake.. why is it called triple? Do I have to cook the pudding? You say “cooked” chocolate pudding.. sorry for so many questions… thanks! Sephora :-) from Brazil.

    Reply
    • Jill

      February 18, 2012 at 3:39 pm

      Sephora in case Sheri doesn’t see this, what you do is make your pudding stir in the dry cake mix, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and bake at the temperature and amount of time it says on the back of the cake mix box. We have 2 kinds of pudding mix one is instant that your just mix with milk and let set to thicken and the other kind you can cook to thicken. Either one will work for this recipe. I use instant most of the time because it is faster and easier and they both taste the same. Why it is called triple is because it has 3 things of chocolate to make it – the cake mix, the pudding and the chips.
      Hope this helps let me know it you have other questions.

        Thank you Jill! You got it right! I had never thought to use instant pudding! My family has been using this recipe since the 70’s.

        My daughter-in-law didn’t understand my directions and made up the cake mix the regular way and added the cooked pudding, then sprinkled the chips on top. Man! That cake was really good! Of course, it was a big gooey and really rich! Yum!

        In case it was not clear, the chips are sprinkled on top. Sometimes we decorate the cake after it comes out with a dusting of powdered sugar and serve it with ice cream or whipped cream.

    I made the cake mix and soda cake the other day – Vanilla cake mix and a can of Lemon/Lime (didn’t use a whole can – just guessed it)
    I didn’t think it was going to work as when I was beating it, it seemed too runny.
    Put it in the oven and just kept my eye on it – wasn’t the prettiest looking cake but tasted divine- sooooooo moist! Beautiful flavour.
    Looking forward to trying other flavours – I am from Australia so unsure if you have similar flavours there (also call it soft drink not soda!)

      It’s funny you mentioned that you call it soft drink Liz. First I love learning what you guys call the different things but also I just watched a thing last week on TV and they had a map of the US and had divided it into sections showing how when you are from different sections here you call a soft drink things like pop, soda, soft drink and down South they call it all a Coke. Even if you are drinking 7 Up or Dr. Pepper it is still called a Coke. : ) : )

      You said your batter was runny. I wonder if your cake mixes are the same size. If it helps ours are about 16 oz. Have a great week end.

    2 small pgks sugar free lime jello
    2 (8 oz) containers key lime yogurt
    8 oz cool whip

    i know my son said this cake with the club soda came out yummy and not as sweet as when i used sprite .. i think the next cake i will make with diet coke .. and it will be chocolate ..
    i’ll let u know the outcome of it and what the kids think .. :D ..
    this is alot of fun too jill .. and i like it bc well . its only 2 ingredients .. i normally dont like recipes that use alot of ingredients .. it gets to be too much and well my dishes never come out looking (and probably tasting too) just like the recipe .. the simpler the better is best for me :D

    Hi! I’m interested to know how much the boxes of “just add water” kind of cake mix cost in the U.S. I hail from Europe, and here the imported packs of brownie mix (for one patch) are sold at over 5 euros ie. some 7 dollars a piece. For cupcake mix it costs some 3-4 euros. We don’t have our own brands and needless to say, making your own is so much cheaper – but I sometimes miss having the comfort.

    If you get them radically cheaper than we do, congrats. And I’m sure this recipe with the ice cream is great.

    Another thing I’m wondering about is the “shortening” sometimes used in American recipes. We do not get it here (but if we did, I’m sure it would cost a fortune).

      Maria I just bought a cake mix yesterday and it was one dollar. I don’t know what that would be in Euros but sounds like it is much cheaper here for us. I know it isn’t quite the same but I have talked about it in several articles and that is to make up your own “cake mixes” by taking your favorite from scratch recipe and measuring up all the dry ingredients for it then place it in jars, containers or a plastic bag. You could do several at one time and then when you are tired or need something fast just pull out your bag of “homemade” mix and add the wet ingredients. That really is all our cake mixes are because you always have to add the eggs, water and oil then to the dry mix.

      Shortening here is just solid vegetable oil. Years ago they use to use lard in the same way. Most of our recipes which call for shortening you can use margarine (solid not whipped) in place of the shortening. Hope this helped a little. Holler if you have any more questions.

    Have you heard about the 123 Cake? In a large gallon size zip top bag mix one flavored cake mix like chocolate, strawberry or carrot with an angel food cake mix. Seal bag and shake, shake, shake. Using a cup or custard type cup that is microwave safe, add 3 level Tablespoons cake mix, 2 teaspoons water and microwave on high for 1 minute. That’s where the 123 came from although it could be called the 321 cake. Careful when it comes out of the mike as it is really not. We top it with a teaspoon of canned frosting and it is yummy. We eat it right out of the cup. Store the mix in the fridge and we also keep the can of frosting in there. We didn’t think the chocolate was chocolaty enough so I added about 3/4 cup of cocoa. The kids love it for dessert or a snack and there’s no prep time. The 9 year old does the measuring, the 7 y/o stirs it up and puts it in the microwave and the 3 y/o pushes the button. I take it out because it’s hot. I also put on the frosting or a dab of ice cream and that cools it off so they can eat it. It’s really yummy. The purpose of the angelfood cake mix is that it supplies the eggs. What surprised me is that the kids like the carrot w/cream cheese frosting the best. We have 3 kinds going in the fridge and 3 cans of frosting and we are having a good time with it. This week is spring break and we have done it three times and it’s the only cake I’ve made since we mixed them up about a month ago. It seems like it is going a long way too and when done they are only eating about 3/4 cup of finished cake. They go home to mommy on the weekend and I’m alone and I’ve made it for myself twice when I wanted a little something sweet so it’s not just kid food. The angel food cake mix is about $2.50 but the other mixes I get on sale and frosting usually with a coupon so it’s not expensive either. I say a teaspoon of frosting but it’s a heaping teaspoon or at least not leveled off but that’s not a ton of calories either.

    Oh, Jill!

    I just laughed hearing you describe all the different words people have for “pop!” From Soda to soft drink, and yes, “Coke.” I am from the center of the country-Kansas City, and grew up in Lawrence, Ks-home of The University of Kansas. I grew up saying “coke” almost all the time. Friends and I would say (and, still do!), do you want to go get a coke?” Maybe none of us would acutally GET a coca cola when we got there! LOL! When my mom would go to the store she would say, “Do we need any pop”, or does anyone want some kind of “coke?” “Sodas” were something made with seltzer water and chocolate flavoring at the drug store. My folks grew up going to the drug store after school, putting a nickel in slot machine to hear a favorite song-all the while sipping a “soda” ona round bar stool at the “soda counter.” The “soda shops” were all but gone by the time I made it to high school. We had the first “drive-Ins” where you could buy a hambuger for 12 cents (!!!!), fries, and of course, a “coke.” :) McDonalds came along shortly after and has continued to rule for a very long time! That reminds me-I probably “deserve a break today!” You do, too, Jill!!! LOL!!

    Happy Friday to everyone! God Bless!

      So true Barb. I’m surprised I didn’t grow up even weirder and more confused then my kids already think I am. My dad was in the service so we not only lived in so many places that I learned to call “soft drinks” : ) by the regional name but we also had friends from all over who each called it something different.

    When I was a young, my dad used to get gas on Sunday morning after church and we were allowed to get a “coke” that we could take home and have after dinner (mid-day meal in my family). Supper was the evening meal.
    Dad would ask us “who wants a cooler and some nabs” (peanut butter crackers in the individual packs)as he was driving into the station. Of course, we always said yes. Mom had a coke (small green bottle), my sisters had RC (large 12 oz bottle – the biggest size), I had a Brown Cow (chocolate drink) and my brother had pepsi. I don’t think dad got anything. He had coffee when we got home.
    Isn’t it funny what triggers a memory. I had forgotten about this until I saw the names people called soft drinks.

      That is so true Maggie. As I was reading your comment I was thinking of the times when we would be taking a trip (which we did all the time) and stopping at a gas station to get a bottle (glass)of pop. We would get to go in and pick a bottle of pop out of the coolers where they were hanging in ice that was slightly melted. I have yet to this day taste anything better then that especially since we usually had been traveling most of the day in 100 degree plus weather with no air conditioning of course. No one had it back then. You can imagine how good that icy cold pop tasted.

    Remember, Jill, they used to be in a metal box hanging by their necks and you had to slide them along until they got to the place that was big enough for them to be lifted out. We used to visit my Uncle Willie and his wife, Lillie Mae in N. C. who lived on a cotton and peanut farm and we’d stop for our “coolers” before the trip. Mom would bring bologna, cheese slices and Wonder bread and we would make sandwiches and eat them in the car.

    Here’s another really easy cake: 1 cake mix, 1 can cherry pie filling and 3 eggs. Mix all together and bake. Very moist and guests will think you worked really hard! Bake @ 350 until it tests done with toothpick.

    I’ve done the pop cake once about a year ago. It turned out surprisingly well, very moist, so I recommend giving it a try. I called one of my friends, who’s a wonderful baker, and she asked me to bring a piece over and she gave it the thumbs up too. The only reason I haven’t baked another is because I don’t normally keep pop in the house (I make my own iced tea) and nor do I usually have cake mixes because I’ll bake them from scratch. But sometimes it all comes together. I find pop and cake mix on sale and into the buggy it goes!

      Various teas also make good water substitutes in cakes…like peach, mint, oolong…

    Wow, love the jello + ice cream idea. I cannot believe this actually works – cake mix with ice cream or cake mix with soda. I mean, I totally believe you, but it just sounds like magic!
    That instant key lime pie sounds fabulous! I love key lime pie but it is way too fattening. And I am thinking this one you can do with the fat free cool whip, sugar free jello, and light yogurt. I hope my family doesn’t expect me to share!!!
    These were such fun posts to read – all the memories of soda in glass bottles.
    Once I made corn muffins, from a mx, and used yogurt in the mix. They came out REALLY light and spongy and tasted more like pound cake, but kind of grainy from the corn meal. Very enjoyable.
    I want to go home from work right now and make all of these!

    Ooooo, I am thinking many variations on the key lime pie: lemon jello and lemon yogurt. Strawberry. Orange. Layers of different flavors.

    Hi, can you use sherbet instead of ice cream? There’s a slight difference in consistency so I wasn’t sure.
