Pumpkin Mug Cakes
These Pumpkin Mug Cakes are the simplest, quickest was to enjoy the wonderful flavors of Autumn! Baked in the microwave in less than 2 minutes, each mug is filled with tender, pumpkin-flavored cake that will satisfy any sweet craving!
Simply mix together water, oil, pumpkin purée, sugar, flour, vanilla, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice until it’s smooth.
Divide it between the mugs and microwave each mug until it’s “baked”. That took me only 60 seconds in my microwave.
I topped mine with ice cream (why wouldn’t I?) but a sprinkling of powdered sugar is perfectly acceptable!

Pumpkin Mug Cakes
Makes: 2 servings
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Bake Time: 3 minutes
Total Time: 8 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
Spray 2 8-ounce mugs with non-stick spray.
Whisk all of the ingredients together until smooth in a small bowl.
Divide the batter between the mugs and microwave each mug for 60-90 seconds or until toothpick comes out clean. I found, in my microwave, 60 seconds was enough time, but all microwaves vary in power so you’ll have to test it at 60 seconds and if necessary, continue to microwave until done.
Top with powdered sugar or ice cream and enjoy!
