Microwave Pumpkin Cranberry Mug Cake 1

We are truly entering pumpkin season…

Here is a quick delicious mug cake I developed that will get you in the spirit of the season!  No need for baking soda or baking powder.  The cake has a pleasant crumb and great moisture.  The cranberries are optional.  You could add or substitute a tablespoon of diced pecans and a half teaspoon of grated orange zest if you like!
