Pumpkin Mug Cake
Description
This easy Pumpkin Mug Cake combines all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and warm spices with pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract mixed directly in a mug. The batter includes a pinch of salt to balance sweetness. When microwaved briefly, the cake sets with a soft interior and slightly shiny top, indicating the right texture without overcooking.
The recipe allows for chocolate chips to be folded in for added richness and bursts of melting chocolate. The mug cake is convenient for individual portions and quick preparation, offering a flavorful pumpkin dessert in minutes. The microwave method means cooking times may vary, so checking the set point early prevents dryness.
Serving the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or extra chocolate chips enhances the experience. It's best to allow the cake to rest a minute after microwaving to finish setting and cool slightly.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- pinch salt
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 1 Tablespoon pumpkin canned
- 1 Tablespoon butter melted
- dash vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon chocolate chips , if desired, or serve with a dollop of whipped cream
Instructions
- Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt in a mug. Stir in milk, pumpkin, melted butter and vanilla extract until smooth, being sure to scrape the bottom of the mug. Stir in chocolate chips, if desired.
- Microwave for 70-90 seconds* (until cake is just set, but still barely shiny on top). Allow to rest in microwave for a few minutes before eating.
Notes
- Microwave cook times vary; start with 70 seconds, let the cake rest for 1 minute, and then add extra cooking in 15-25 second increments if needed to avoid overcooking.
