Quick and easy Red Velvet Mug Cakes for TWO, drizzled with caramel sauce and sprinkled with crunchy pecans!
Oh heyyyyyyyy, more red velvet. Well in honor of tomorrow being February 1st, yeah, I’m red velveting today.
You know how mini things are cuter? Seriously though, FACT: small things are cuter. Little puppies, mini pencils, bite-sized appetizers, donut holes, dessert plates, babies. And I’d like to say that cakes you can make in mugs are in this same realm. Single-serving things adorable and especially tasty.
Oh and these mug cakes? 8 minutes people. Eight minutes of your life will give you two delicious, moist and fluffy red velvet cakes. One for you and one for….
Whomever you decide to share it with.
Me, myself, and I are all acceptable.
You are also welcome to top these cakes with any combination of delicious confections your can dream up. I went for the powdered sugar, caramel sauce and pecans but I was ***this close*** to smothering them in cream cheese frosting.
Thisclose.
Other CDLC-approved topping choices:
– Chocolate chips (white, milk, semi-sweet, MINI)
– Hot fudge (melty gooey goodness) orrrr chocolate syrup
– Maraschino cherries (straight from the jar baby)

E. All of the above.
