Pumpkin Spice Mug Cake is also a healthier cake. Unlike other pumpkin cakes, this cake is made without butter, cream, or oil. Instead, it is given its rich flavor from a combination of apple sauce and pumpkin puree. Healthier and tasty, this is one amazing autumn cake. Plus, when it’s ready in under five minutes, it couldn’t be more perfect.

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Mug Cake

Let’s start pumpkin baking fun! Find your favorite mug. It is about to be filled with a yummy mini cake. Add flour, sugar, pumpkin puree, apple sauce, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt. Since it’s made without egg, you can lick the spoon or fork clean. I always do! This cake tastes delicious before and after it’s baked.

Now all that’s left is popping it in the microwave to cook. Since all microwaves are different, I recommend that you start by cooking it on high for 1 minute. Continue to cook it for 10 seconds at a time until it is ready. You’ll know it’s finished when the top appears firm and a toothpick comes out clean.

Finally, it’s time to eat!! Go for it –  indulge in a pumpkin treat today!

Whether you are making a treat for yourself or whipping up a few for the special people in your family, there’s nothing like a freshly baked cake. When it’s piping hot and freshly made, mug cakes are seriously a perfect treat.

So, what are you waiting for? I’m off to make another Pumpkin Spice Mug Cake.
