Recipe features
- A delicious pumpkin cake that’s ready in just 5 minutes
- A quick and easy dessert recipe
- Even better when topped with chocolate chips
Ingredient notes
Flour – whole wheat, but can sub all purpose flour
Brown sugar – can sub cane sugar
Milk- any kind
Method
Start by stirring the dry ingredients–flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt–together in a mug.
Then, add the milk, pumpkin and vanilla to the mug and whisk until the batter is smooth.
Microwave the cake for 2 minutes. Then, top the whole thing with chocolate chips and dig in!
Notes
- Don’t have pumpkin pie spice? Use cinnamon instead.
- Want to switch it up? Try using white chocolate chips.
- Sweetener: I found brown sugar to work best, but cane sugar works too. Can also use maple syrup instead, though if you do that, I’d only use 2 tbsp milk.

Another winner from you!
This looks so freaking good! Why have I never thought to put white chocolate chips with pumpkin?? Thanks for pinning this to my pumpkin group board! I’m planning on including this in a pumpkin recipe round-up on Lifehack if that’s cool with you! 🙂
Thank you Amanda! And yes that’s great… I will keep my eyes out for the Lifehack round-up 🙂
I’m not bigggg into white chocolate chips but that’s mostly because I’m not a huge chocolate person! I know, I’m the worst. But if you can come around to yogurt then maybe I can come around to white chocolate? Challenge accepted.
