Fall has officially begun and with it has begun the mass influx of everything pumpkin spice. As the weather has started to cool off, I've been looking for the perfect warm treat to eat. I created this super easy pumpkin spice mug cake recipe that anyone can make using a microwave in their dorm!

The end result tastes awesome on its own, but adding a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream adds a whole new dimension.
