Usually I will make a recipe and then need to make it one or two more times to make sure it's perfect it before posting.
Once it's perfect, I post and then move on with my life.
Moving on with my life is pretty much the opposite of what has happened with this pumpkin spice cake.
Since the first time I made it (it was actually already perfect!), I have had it every single day... sometimes twice a day.
I am kind of obsessed.
Cakes made in the microwave are my thing these days.
I'm still blown away every time at how amazing it is that a CAKE can be made in the MICROWAVE in less than 5 minutes.
How crazy is that?!?!
Y'all also know that I LOVE pumpkin. So it is kind of a deadly combination for me - HEALTHY cake that can be made in the MICROWAVE in less than 3 MINUTES that is pumpkin-spice-flavored. OMG.
This scenario is my version of heaven on Earth.
So yes, I also referred to this cake as "healthy" because it totally is. It contains healthy fats, protein, and fiber to keep you full, yet it's perfectly sweetened and tastes like a sinful treat!
The best of both worlds.
I seriously love healthy desserts. Those are the only kind of desserts I'll eat now.
I just can't imagine actually enjoying a sugar and calorie-laden brownie, for example, knowing that my all-time favorite brownies are about a million times healthier and taste just as good!! And they're only 59 calories...!
So anyway, y'all will love this healthy amazing, delicious, perfect, beautiful single serving pumpkin spice cake!! And I can't wait to hear all about it. :D

Microwave Method:
1. Combine all ingredients in microwave-safe bowl/mug/ramekin, and mix until thoroughly combined.
*Note: I used 1/2 cup water, but recommend starting with 6 Tbsp and adding water one Tbsp at a time until a thick batter is reached.
2. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Then, microwave on 50% power in 30 second increments until your desired consistency is reached. (I did 1 minute and 30 seconds on 50% power and the middle was a tad gooey - just how I like it!)
Oven Method:
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Combine all ingredients in microwave-safe bowl/mug/ramekin, and mix until thoroughly combined.
*Note: I used 1/2 cup water, but recommend starting with 6 Tbsp and adding water one Tbsp at a time until a thick batter is reached.
3. Transfer mixture to prepared bowl/mug/ramekin, and bake for 25-30 minutes, depending on how gooey you want the center (I like a gooey center and did 25 minutes).
