🍰 Friends – “Cuppa Cuppa Cake”

“Cuppa Cuppa Cake” is the super simple cake recipe made famous by Phoebe Buffay on Friends. It comes from her grandmother’s cookbook (which she dramatically discovers is actually from Nestlé — pronounced “Nest-lay” 😄).

🧁 The Recipe (as Phoebe says it)

“Cuppa flour
Cuppa sugar
Cuppa applesauce…”

That’s it!

📝 How to Make It

Ingredients:

• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup applesauce

Instructions:

1. Mix everything together.
2. Pour into a greased cake pan.
3. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 25–30 minutes.
4. Let cool and enjoy.

🤔 Does it actually work?

Surprisingly… yes, kind of!
It makes a simple, lightly sweet, dense cake. The applesauce replaces eggs and oil, so it’s moist but not super fluffy.

🍫 Optional upgrades (if you want it tastier)

• Add ½ tsp vanilla
• Add cinnamon
• Stir in chocolate chips
• Dust with powdered sugar

If you’d like, I can give you a richer “real-life upgraded” version that still keeps the cuppa-cuppa vibe but tastes bakery-level good.
