You’ll love this pumpkin spice mug cake recipe! Transform a few ingredients into a tasty treat that can be baked right in your microwave in a minute.
I’m SO excited about this pumpkin mug cake! It’s something that I’ve been wanting to share for a long time. Because I LOVE pumpkin spice . . . I love fall desserts . . . and I absolutely LOVE making a “onesie” cake for myself.
The honest truth is that I just can’t control myself when it comes to pumpkin desserts. If I bake pumpkin bread, I will eat the entire loaf.
If I make a pumpkin cake – consider it gone. That is pretty much true for any pumpkin recipe whether sweet or savory.
This pumpkin spice mug cake helps prevent something from happening that probably shouldn’t happen, which is me eating an entire cake versus just a mug’s worth.
I mean I want it to but . . . well, you know. If you’re like me, You’ll keep this pumpkin mug cake just for yourself. Or maybe you and one other person. Learn how to make this quick dessert below.
Pumpkin Mug Cake Recipe for Two
- ½ cup spice cake mix
- ¼ cup pumpkin
- 1 tablespoon milk
Frosting
- 3 ounces room temperature cream cheese
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon milk
1. In a small bowl, mix all ingredients until well blended. Pour into a mug or ramekin.
2. Microwave for 70 seconds on high.
3. For the frosting, whisk all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. If you want to drizzle frosting, add more milk. If you want it thick and spreadable, reduce the amount of milk.
You could make your pumpkin mug cake without the frosting, but I don’t recommend it. The frosting just “adds something.”
If your family loves pumpkin too, they’re going to love this sweet treat.
