In a medium-sized microwaveable mug, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
Add butter, vanilla, milk and food coloring. Stir.
In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and cream cheese with a fork until smooth. Make a well in the cake
mixture, drop powdered sugar mixture into the well, and fold the cake mix over.
Cook in the microwave on high for 1 to 1ó minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
After the mug cake has cooled, decorate as desired with frosting, sprinkles, whipped cream, etc.
