Ingredients

Scale

4 tbsp all-purpose flour

2 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar

1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 tsp baking powder

a pinch of salt

3 tbsp milk

1 tbsp vegetable oil

4–6 drops red food coloring

1/4 tsp vinegar

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a microwave-safe mug and stir until fully mixed.

2. Add the milk, oil, vanilla extract, food coloring, and vinegar and whisk until the batter is smooth and vibrant red.

3. Adjust the food coloring if you prefer a deeper hue and mix gently.

4. Place the mug in the center of the microwave and cook for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes based on your microwave wattage.

5. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.

6. Let the mug cake rest for 2–3 minutes to finish cooking and cool slightly.

7. Top with cream cheese frosting, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings before serving.
