Ingredients

Instructions

  • Choose a microwave-safe mug with a capacity of at least 10 ounces to prevent overflow. Lightly grease the inside of the mug with a bit of oil or cooking spray.
  • In the mug, whisk together the all-purpose flour, Pyure, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
  • Add the canned pumpkin puree, milk, olive oil, and vanilla extract to the mug. Mix everything together until you have a smooth batter.
  • Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's power, so keep an eye on the cake. The cake should rise and firm up.
  • To check if the mug cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the cake is ready. If not, microwave in 15-second intervals until done.
  • Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Allow the cake to cool for a minute or two before adding optional toppings like whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

Note: Cooking times are based on a microwave with a wattage of approximately 1000 watts. Adjust the cooking time if your microwave has a different wattage.
