Ingredients
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp light brown sugar, packed
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 Tbsp heavy cream
1/4 cup pure pumpkin puree
1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice together in a 10-ounce microwave-safe mug.
Add the melted butter, heavy cream, pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract into the mug.
Stir the wet and dry ingredients vigorously until the batter is smooth and no flour streaks remain.
Microwave the mug on high power for 3 minutes.
Check for doneness, ensuring the center is set, and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Ensure you use pure pumpkin puree, not pre-spiced pumpkin pie filling. You can customize the cake by folding in a teaspoon of chocolate chips or chopped nuts before microwaving.
