Frugal Foodie Mama: Pumpkin Spice Mug Cake {A Recipe Makeover}

This perfectly portioned for one Pumpkin Spice Mug Cake can be ready in just 4 minutes...

My Pumpkin Spice Mug Cake is perfect for a fall evening (or afternoon... or morning ;) ) when you are craving a delicious, moist, perfectly spiced slice of pumpkin cake or bread, but don't have the time or motivation to bake a whole loaf or cake. You can whip this up in literally less than 4 minutes, folks.

And it is a perfectly portioned taste of fall for one. (Also good for those of us trying to not to overdo it on the fall baked sweets! Built-in portion control, my friends.)

I originally shared my recipe for Pumpkin Spice Mug Cake in October of last year. And because this is another Frugal Foodie Mama Recipe Makeover, here is a one of the photos I used in the original post...

I knew I had to remake this recipe because that photo was not doing this delicious and quick recipe proper justice.

I did tweak a few things in the recipe itself. Swapped out the white sugar for brown, but nothing too major.
