10 Two-Ingredient Dessert Ideas to get you through the Holiday Season

It’s time to jump on the holiday wagon, ready or not!  Soon we will all be up to our necks in holiday get-togethers, parties, and company stopping by.  Often we will bring a dish to share, and sometimes getting to the store to get the ingredients is the hardest part of getting something together.  I’ve come up with a list of delicious 2 ingredient cakes (Ok one might have 3) that can be mixed together and ready in no time.  If you’ve never made a 2 ingredient cake, you are missing out!  I personally have been making the pumpkin and spice cake one for years.  But the best part about these cakes, is you can mix up the ingredients to match what you have on hand.  For example, although I love to make the pumpkin cake with spice cake mix, you could also use yellow or white or even carrot cake mix in place of the spice.  All of them give the cake a different flavor, but all are good. 

Last week my Mom’s group held our annual cooking demonstration.  I decided to give the pineapple and angel food cake a whirl.   I’d never had it before but love pineapples and angel food cake, so I figured it would be good.  I wasn’t disappointed!  I could have eaten that whole cake!  Good thing I had 30 friends to share with!  I do have to admit I added whipped white frosting (from a can) and then added toasted coconut to the top.  I suppose this technically makes it a 4 ingredient cake, but for the extra three minutes it took, I don’t think you will regret it!  I wasn’t able to get a picture of the cake cut, but here it is at home before I left.

       

Below are 10 ideas for other 2 ingredient cakes.  You can click on the picture to be taken to the recipes.  Some of the pictures take you to Pinterest, just look below the picture for the recipe.  Stocking up on a few of your favorite flavors will give you a quick, easy and delicious dessert to share with your family and friends.  And if you don’t tell them, they’ll never know how easy it was.  Of course, if you do tell them they will all think you are incredibly smart and wonderful for thinking of such a neat treat.  Either way, it’s win-win for you!  So go ahead and bake someone happy ~enjoy!
