Grinch Mug Cake
I have to admit, I sort of rock at making Grinch inspired treats for the holidays.
And I think I may have just topped them with this Grinch Mug Cake recipe.
Most of the recipes I make are made to feed a crowd but not this one. This one is meant to be enjoyed all by yourself (don’t feel guilty!).
If you can throw some simple ingredients into a mug and microwave it, you can make this recipe.

Can I use regular food coloring?
Yes. You can use regular food coloring. However, I find the gel food coloring gives a brighter, more true Grinch green color so I suggest using that. If you do use regular food coloring, use the neon green color.
How to Make a Grinch Mug Cake
In a 12-ounce microwave safe mug, add Milk, Oil, Flour, Sugar, Baking Powder, Vanilla, and Food Coloring.
Stir well to combine, and place in Microwave for 1 minute.
Remove Mug from Microwave, and if the top is a little jiggly, or looks really shiny, or halfway runny, place the Mug back in the Microwave for 10 seconds.
Remove from Microwave, and let stand for 2 minutes to cool slightly.
Then top with Whipped Cream and Red Grinch Hearts.
Serve, and Enjoy!
