1 teaspoon Pumpkin Spice + Cinnamon (to taste)
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt

Steps
Mix all dry and wet ingredients well in a medium bowl.
Generously spray a large mug with non-stick cooking spray, and transfer the batter into the cup.
Place a paper towel into the microwave and set the mug or bowl on top. This is to catch any batter if your mug cake overflows.
Microwave the cake for 1 minute, or until cake is done in the middle. If the cake needs to be cooked some more, place it back into the microwave and cook at 20 second intervals. Typically, 1 minute plus an additional 20 seconds is enough.
You can eat it straight from the cup, or you can transfer the cake upside down on a serving plate.
*Note: all microwaves are different and can yield different cook times, depending on how many watts your microwave is.
