RED VELVET MUG CAKE
This über-trendy cake is actually a vintage recipe from the Deep South. It is as red as Scarlet O'Hara's dress thanks to the combination of cocoa powder and cheap liquid red food coloring. Be sure to use the cheap stuff! Fancy food coloring pastes and gels don't work nearly as well. The vinegar was traditionally added to the baking soda as a leavener. With self-rising flour, it's not necessary, but it's added here for its classic zippy flavor.

Steps:
- In a large mug, whisk together the egg and oil with a fork. Stir in the food coloring, buttermilk, vanilla, and sugar. Add the cocoa, flour, salt, and vinegar. Beat the batter until smooth. Divide the batter between two mugs. Microwave separately for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes each until risen and firm.
Tips:
- Precise Measurements: Follow the recipe's ingredient measurements precisely to ensure the perfect balance of flavors and texture.
- Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality cocoa powder, buttermilk, and vanilla extract for a rich and authentic red velvet flavor.
- Mix Dry Ingredients Thoroughly: Whisk together the dry ingredients (cocoa powder, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt) before adding the wet ingredients to prevent lumps.
- Do Not Overmix: Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined. Overчительноxing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Microwave in Intervals: Cook the mug cake in short intervals (10-15 seconds) and check for doneness between each interval to prevent overcooking.
- Toothpick Test: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, continue microwaving in short intervals.
- Let it Cool Slightly: Allow the mug cake to cool for a minute or two before enjoying. This helps it set and prevents the hot cake from burning your tongue.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Top the cooled mug cake with your favorite garnishes, such as whipped cream, chocolate chips, or sprinkles, and enjoy!
Conclusion:
Preparing a delightful red velvet mug cake is a quick, easy, and rewarding culinary experience.
