Red Velvet Cake For One

I love Red Velvet Cake and have been searching high and low for a recipe to make a single serve version without any luck. So this morning I decided to take matters into my own hands and make one.

And OOHHHH MY GOODNESS!!! I love this little Red Velvet Cake!!

It’s moist and has just the right texture… The cream cheese frosting was a little loose but as it slid down the sides of the cake it was just begging for a fork to dive right in!

I used THM Baking Blend or you can use another blend like this one or this one to get similar results.

( I love my THM Baking Blend it has become a staple ingredient in our home and in my baking. Honestly it doesn’t really save a lot of money to make your own, but each of us must make our own choices in what we purchase or not.)

This Red Velvet Cake for One is slightly larger than a Muffin in a Mug, you may want to use a soup mug like this Corningware French White Pop-Ins 20-Ounce Mug if you don’t have a 4″ silicone pan.

 Because of it’s size it does take a bit longer to cook, I had to microwave mine for 2 minutes for it to be done, however my microwave is only 900 watts so check yours after 90 seconds or so to make sure it doesn’t over cook. You can also bake these in the oven at 350 for about 8-10 minutes.

I used the cream cheese glosting from the new  Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook on page 289 and substituted almond milk for the lemon juice (probably why it was a little loose). But I actually kind of liked it that way, so will do it again and again.

 If you haven’t purchased the new cookbook you really should it is chalk full of great recipes that are easy to prepare and tasty!
