Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 container Betty Crocker™ Whipped fluffy white frosting
3/4 cup roasted salted sunflower nuts
1 container Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy white frosting
1 teaspoon Betty Crocker™ orange gel food color
1 tube (0.68 oz) Betty Crocker™ black decorating gel

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
  • In large bowl, beat cake mix, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin, water, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each 1/2 full.
  • Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cupcake comes out clean. Remove from pan; place on cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • In large bowl, mix fluffy white frosting and sunflower nuts. With melon baller, scoop out center of each cupcake, scooping almost to bottom of cupcake. Spoon about 1 tablespoon frosting mixture into center of each cupcake.
  • In medium bowl, mix creamy white frosting and orange gel food color until well blended. Spread over tops of filled cupcakes. Use black decorating gel to make a jack-o-lantern face on top of each cupcake.
