It's Thursday! I don't know why I am excited about it but, let's face it, it's one day to Friday and then it will be one Day to the weekend. Well, looking forward to the weekend though I don't really have any plans, it's still early to dismiss so we'll see. So I woke up feeling like baking, just one of those things that I love to fill my free time with. And what have I been dreaming about all week? Red Velvet Cake! I've never really tried to bake one so I decided why not use the simplest method that I know, the Microwave Mug Cake. It's really simple and if it backfires, I can be the only one who is disappointed. I decided if this works out, then I will definitely try the Oven Baked Red Velvet Cake. And so it goes that my latest Mug Cake Obsession continues...This time we will indulge in the delicious, Classic and Moist Red Velvet Cake.Who doesn't love Red Velvet Cake? It is just the perfect treat for any occasion or just because you have a craving for something sweet and decadent. This recipe is so quick and easy since it's whipped up in a Mug and cooks in the Microwave in minutes! Trust me you will satisfy your craving for Red Velvet Cake. My Red Velvet Mug Cake is Egg-less so you can enjoy it whether you eat Eggs or not. This time I decided to Oil my Mug so that I can be able to remove the Cake from the Mug and serve it on a Plate. Check out my two other Mug Cakes! Read about my Chocolate Mug Cake and Carrot Cake Mug Cake.
