Moist and airy red velvet mug cake made in 90 seconds in the microwave. It is topped with a quick cream cheese frosting. Notes: If you don't have buttermilk, to ¼ cup of milk add ¾ teaspoon of vinegar. Let it sit for 5-8 mins. The milk will curdle. For a vegan version, replace butter with oil. The amount of food colour depends on the type. If you are using gel colour a very small quantity would be enough. In the case of liquid food colour, you would need about ⅛ teaspoon.
