Recipe of the Day

Red Velvet Cake in a cup (or in my case a bowl)

I came across this recipe when I was looking for a quick fix for my cake craving, without baking a whole cake or a batch of cupcakes. I took the original recipe, tweaked it a lil and now have it memorized lol
It's delicious and can be easily tweaked to be just a chocolate cake, a butterscotch cake, a vanilla cake, etc. 

Enjoy! 

Cake:

4 tablespoons flour

5 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 whole egg

1 teaspoon vinegar

1 teaspoon red food coloring

3 tablespoons whole or buttermilk

1 tablespoon oil. (vegetable or olive, either work)

1/4 teaspoon baking power

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

dash of cinnamon (optional)

First mix the milk and vinegar in cup or bowl. Let sit one minute, add food dye. Then add all of the dry ingredients. Add egg and oil. Mix well. Microwave on high for a minute at a time until done. let sit for 30 seconds in between each minute of microwaving and check before restarting the microwave. It is very easy to overcook this and your first one might not come out right. 

Icing:

2 tablespoons cream cheese

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup powdered sugar.

Yes I know that's a lot of powdered sugar and sounds like it will make too much icing, you can always cut it in half. I'm a fan of cream cheese frosting so I don't mind the excess.

ENJOY :)
