Individual Red Velvet Cake

Hello,

So one of my favorite desserts of all time is red velvet cake. While searching around on Pinterest one day I came across a website that has several individual desserts that all can be made in the microwave. So I had a sweet tooth one night and followed the recipe found here:  http://lacreativitedelafille.blogspot.com/2012/06/red-velvet-mug-cake.html 
I haven't tried any other of her desserts but take a snoop on the webpage and you will definitely be inspired! Here are the ingredients that the recipe called for:

Now I doubled my recipe which I may tell you was a mistake. My ramekin's were overflowing and the cake was dense so it was a lot of food. I recommend next time following the website's instructions and use 2 ramekins which I will list below.

Cake:

• 4 tablespoons flour
• 4.5 tablespoons sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
• 1.5 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 3 tablespoons buttermilk - I used regular milk...seemed to work fine
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring

Frosting

• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup sugar

Mix your cake ingredients together in a small bowl. Pour contents into 2 ramekins. Microwave each individually on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. My ramekins were extremely hot and I had to use a pot holder to remove them. Let them cool before putting the frosting on. Mix your frosting ingredients in a bowl and use an electric mixer to thoroughly combine. Once the cake is cool enough spread on your frosting.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did! Happy couponing, cooking, and crockpotting!
