Ingredients for Making a Pumpkin Mug Cake

- 4 TBSP Plain Flour
- 2 TBSP White Sugar
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 3 TBSP Pumpkin Puree (Can be canned)

Making a Pumpkin Mug Cake
To make this mug cake, you will need a microwave-safe mug that has a capacity of at least 300g (10 oz) to prevent anything from overflowing.
Lightly grease the inside of the mug with oil or melted butter.
Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice to the mug and stir until well combined.
Add the pumpkin puree, milk, oil and vanilla extract to the mug and mix everything together to make a smooth batter.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 ½ minutes to 2 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on your microwave’s power. This cooking time is based on using a microwave with a wattage of 1000 watts. The cake should rise and firm up.
To check that the mug cake is done, insert a toothpick into the middle of the cake. If it comes out clean, or with only a few moist crumbs, the cake is ready. If not, microwave in 15-second intervals until done.
Carefully remove the hot mug from the microwave and allow to cool for a minute or two before adding optional toppings.
