In a gallon sized ziplock bag, combine the two boxes of cake mix. Shake the bag to mix thoroughly.
If using a microwaveable mug, lightly coat the inside of a with non-stick spray. Without the spray the cake will not transfer out of the mug and the mug is harder to clean. If using a disposable, microwave safe paper cup, no non-stick spray is needed.
Into the prepared mug/cup, stir together 3 tablespoons of cake mix and 2 tablespoons of water.
Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of pineapple sundae topping.
Microwave on high for up to 1 minute until cooked.
Add a bit of sundae topping and a generous dusting of sprinkles on top of the pineapple mug cake. Then eat it right out of the mug. If you want to transfer the cake onto a plate, run a knife around the edge between the cake and the mug to loosen, dump out onto a plate then add toppings.

Packing tips

Combine the two cake mixes into a gallon-size ziplock bag labeled with directions.
Include a measuring spoon, a jar of pineapple topping, and sprinkles.
If the care package is international, include microwave safe paper cups. Snack sized or 6-8 oz drinking cups work well.
If the care package is domestic, add either a can of non-stick spray (for use with a ceramic mug) or microwave safe paper cups.
Don’t forget to include the “recipe”.
