Nutella and pumpkin is a great combination. I love the rich and chocolatey Nutella swirled into the pumpkin cake flavored with fall spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Every fall I make Nutella Swirl Pumpkin Cookies and Pumpkin Nutella Cakes and now I’m sharing this Nutella Swirled Pumpkin Mug Cake which is a quick dessert for one when you’re in the mood for a fall treat but don’t want to make a big batch of cookies or a large cake This mini cake is so light and fluffy you wouldn’t even guess that it’s made in the microwave.overhead photo of Nutella Swirled Pumpkin Mug Cake

How to Make a Nutella Swirled Pumpkin Mug Cake

  • I recommend using a large microwave-safe mug for this recipe. I like to use a small whisk to combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, milk, oil, and pumpkin puree because it’s easier to get a smooth batter without having to overmix it.
  • The ingredient list looks long for this recipe but that’s because of the number of spices, which give the cake a great spiced flavor. You can omit the cloves and ginger, but I prefer this mug cake with all of the spices.
  • To make it easier to swirl, heat the Nutella in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds. I use a fork to swirl the Nutella into the batter.
  • Cook the cake in the microwave at full power for one minute and 15 seconds.
