Pumpkin Cinnamon Mug Cake

I’m always trying to improve upon old recipes. Recently, I tackled my old pumpkin mug cake recipe.

I love how easy this is. I’m pretty much craving pumpkin the entire months of October and November so this allows me indulge whenever I want.

This recipe is healthier and more pumpkiny than my original one, which is just the way I wanted it. I love how orange the batter is too.

  1. Will pumpkin pie spice be an adequate substitute for pumpkin puree? 

    • no! pumpkin spice is just a spice powder, whereas pumpkin puree is actual pumpkin and the recipe is accounting for the moisture of that pumpkin.

  2. Love, love, love this recipe!  I add a pinch of nutmeg and a few chocolate chips. Delicious!

  3. Wow! I literally just made this and let me tell you, while waiting for the cake to cool, the struggle was real! I couldn’t keep my fingers off it!
    It’s got the perfect texture and doesn’t feel under-cooked or fudgy. Light airy cake and a perfect way to slowly go through the 2 cups or so of my pumpkin puree that I have left. Thank-you! ^_^

  4. This is fantastic. I also add a couple chocolate chips and it is phenomenal.

  5. Could the sugar be substituted for Dark Brown Sugar and would it taste as good?

  6. I love your recipes and have used many of them. I also love all things pumpkin..but I’m so lazy that this is too many ingredients for me! If I were to go to the trouble of getting all that stuff in there, I think I’d rather just mix up a whole cake (and try not to eat it all!). But sure looks/sounds good! Thanks!

    • Most of these ingredients are ones I have in the house in the Fall. So it’s just a matter of using a little of each for something super quick.

  7. I love that color as well! I love cinnamon & spice – I might even add some more spices when whipping this up, delicious!!!
