Ingredients

For the cake

  • 4 tbsp all- purpose flour
  • 4 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/8 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 3 tbsp buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp red food coloring

For the frosting

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

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the ingredients together into an oversized mug using a fork or small whisk until batter is smooth. Cook in microwave for about 1 min 30 seconds. It might need an additional 30 seconds. Be careful not to overcook as batter will become dense and rubbery.
  • Let cake cool slightly before piping frosting. For frosting, combine all ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix on high speed until light and fluffy. Pipe onto cake.
