Like you all, I love cake. But I don’t want to bake a big cake just to satisfy that on the spur moment cravings and that’s why I think, Microwave Mug Cakes are the best thing ever!!! Such a quick and easy one serving sweet treat to satisfy that untimely cravings (late nights, late afternoons etc etc.)

I had made a Red Velvet Cake years ago for a friend’s birthday. The friend lives far away but I had baked the cake and taken it to work to share with my work buddies. The cake was gone within minutes. Mind you, I was new to baking and I didn’t have a blog back then to draft and share my recipes. So yes, I don’t have that recipe anymore. I miss it.

This time, I felt like making a microwave red velvet cake in a mug to treat myself while binge watching Narcos Mexico. And oh boy, am I glad that I did. Slightly inspired from Pioneer Woman’s Red Velvet Mug Cake this recipe is a must try who loves cakes and not so much into sharing :P.

The best part about red velvet cakes is that it has that moist, chocolaty and absolutely irresistible taste. Topped with a generous amount of white chocolate chips, every bite is celebration in itself.

And, you don’t even need an oven or any baking equipment! All you need, is a microwave safe mug. I also think, this no fail red velvet mug cake will make a beautiful single serve date night dessert. Especially when Valentine day is around the corner, now you got yourself a recipe to try on someone special eh!!!

How to make microwave red velvet cake?

Stir milk, vegetable oil, red food coloring, vanilla extract and white vinegar together in a microwave safe coffee mug. Stir in flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt, until smooth and lump free. Top with white chocolate chips.

Cook in microwave for 1 minute and 15 seconds.

Serving suggestion:

Enjoy the cake hot as soon as you remove from the microwave. Some mug cakes tend to get a little dry if left at room temperature for a long period of time.
