Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 19

3/4 cup unsalted butter, (softened not melted)
1 and 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, (lightly packed)
3 large eggs
1 can (15 ounces) cooked pumpkin ((make sure it's not watery; I recommend Libby's))
1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup regular milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar), (divided)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 and 1/3 cups white all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 package (8 ounces) full-fat cream cheese, (softened)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, (softened)
4 cups powdered sugar
1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add in the pumpkin, 1/4 cup buttermilk, and vanilla extract
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating each part with adding in 1/4 cup buttermilk (to use up the remaining 3/4 cup buttermilk).
  • Fill the prepared muffin tin liners 3/4 full (this batter makes exactly enough for 24 cupcakes). Bake 20-25 minutes, in the center of the oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  • For the frosting: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla and cinnamon; beat until completely smooth.
  • Frost the cooled cupcakes. Best within 2-3 days.

PUMPKIN SPICE CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting image

This is a wonderful recipe I discovered and changed a bit to suit my taste. I love the flavor of pumpkin and the cinnamon makes ordinary cream cheese frosting extra special. When I made a batch for my husband to take to work, he said they disappeared in record time. -Debbie Wiggins, Longmont, Colorado

Time 1h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
¾ cup milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners. Sift together the flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, allspice, salt, baking powder, and baking soda; set aside.
  • Beat 1/2 cup of butter, the white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Stir in the milk and pumpkin puree after the last egg. Stir in the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • While the cupcakes are cooling, make the frosting by beating the cream cheese and 1/4 butter with an electric mixer in a bowl until smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar a little at a time until incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; beat until fluffy. Once the cupcakes are cool, frost with the cream cheese icing.
