Valentine’s day is around the corner .I am sure you all would be scratching your head about what to make something special for your loved ones. Here you go, a super easy , soft n spongy, eggless one minute red velvet cake in a mug using microwave under one minute. Last year I have shared some easy, instant microwave cake recipes( refer side bar) and I am really happy that I am getting rave reviews about those recipes from my readers. This has been a real boost which inspires me to try more microwave recipes especially one minute mug cakes.

When I was looking for Valentine’s day recipes ideas, I found home made Chocolates & Red Velvet Cake are the most wanted recipes on lover’s day. As I have already posted an easy, no cook, 3 ingredient home made chocolate recipe here, I wanted to share this easy red velvet cake recipe without using eggs & buttermilk for you all to try out on this Valentine’s day. 

Here I have used red food color as I din’t want to take chance with beetroot in my first attempt. Soon I will try and share this recipe replacing artificial color. You can make this cake in the next few minutes just after reading this recipe & surprise your sweet heart/Husband.

  • The consistency of batter will be semi solid & it should fall like a thick ribbon. Make sure the batter is filled till half of the mug because this cake will double while cooking.
  • Now microwave the mug in high power for 1 minute. Cake will raise & its size would be doubled.( mine is 800w. Please adjust the timing as per the power of your microwave) Check with a toothpick or back of a spoon. If it comes out clean,cake is done. Else keep it again for 10 secs.
  • For simple decoration, you can put sprinklers on top as I did OR dust it with powdered sugar. If you apply frosting, it would be even more rich. Make your choice & variations !

  • Serve with any frosting or just sprinkle powdered sugar & enjoy !
Happy Valentine’s day !!

Note
  • Do not mix everything together. First mix the dry ingredients & then go for mixing wet ones.
  • Adjust the time based on the power of your microwave.
  • It tastes mildly sweet. So add more sugar based on your tastebuds. But make sure sugar is dissolved before you microwave.
