The Moistest Red Velvet Tea Cup Cake Using Bertolli Olive Oil

If there is one cupcake/cake flavor that I absolutely love, it’s Red Velvet!

Thanks to my daughter Aryanna for coming up with another Tea Cup Cake recipe (remember our 70-Second Microwave Tea Cup Chocolate Cake?) that I can make any time of the day and is super duper easy too! The ingredients are pretty light on the calories and not as rich as most Red Velvet cupcakes that are commercially sold. The idea of single-serving recipe is perf for post-holiday diet.

The challenge was to make the cake super moist and I’m happy to report that I found the secret ingredient! Find out below:
