Instructions
Ready to whip up your own mug of autumn bliss? Follow these simple steps:
- In a microwave-safe mug, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1-1.5 minutes. Start by microwaving for 1 minute, then check the cake. If needed, continue cooking in 15-second intervals until the cake has risen and is slightly firm to the touch.
- Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before digging in. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
