How To Make A Red Velvet Mug Cake With Cake Mix Recipe
Using a Betty Crocker red velvet cake mix (or any other brand) and a 16oz. coffee mug:
Add 6 tablespoons of cake mix + 2-3 tablespoons of water. You want the cake batter to be the consistency of regular cake batter.
Stir the cake mix well, making sure to get out all the clumps.
Combine your add-ins. For this recipe I used 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips.
Microwave your mug cake for 1-2 minutes.
Top with cool whip, ice cream, or cream cheese frosting.
Serve warm!
Pro Tip: If the top of your cake is spongy and springs back when you touch it, it’s done. If you still see uncooked cake batter on top, cook again in 30 second intervals until it turns spongy.

Are Mug Cakes Eggless?
If you’re using a boxed cake mix all you need to add is water. You only need to add an egg if you are making your mug cake from scratch.
