Select a microwave-safe coffee mug with a diameter of about 3 inches (8 cm) and a minimum height of 1.9 inches (5 cm). This prevents the batter from overflowing.
In the mug, whisk the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, oil, and vanilla extract.
Whisk in coconut sugar, spices, baking powder, and flour until the batter is smooth and thick. If it is too dry, stir in the optional almond milk.
Bake in the center of the microwave for 90 seconds at 800W for 70-90 seconds. If your microwave works at lower power, you may have to increase baking time by 10-20-seconds.
Enjoy immediately with a drizzle of icing sugar and almond milk, or add some vegan dark chocolate chips on top.
Oven baking
Bake the mug cake in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for 15 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Use an oven-safe greased ramekin or 4-inch cake pan.
