Ingredients
  

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon pumpkin spice (or a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

A pinch of salt

3 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree

3 tablespoons milk (or dairy-free alternative)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or melted butter)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for topping

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and salt until evenly mixed.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl or directly in the mug, add the pumpkin puree, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.

      Combine All Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture in the mug. Stir well until you have a homogenous batter. Make sure there are no lumps.

        Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute and 20 seconds. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's wattage, so keep an eye on it. The cake should rise and be set in the center. If it’s still wet, microwave in additional 10-15 second intervals.

          Cool Slightly: Let the mug cake cool for a minute. It will be hot, so be cautious!

            Serve: Optionally, top your fluffy pumpkin spice mug cake with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra deliciousness.

              Enjoy: Dive into your warm, spiced delight right from the mug!
