Time 1h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 15

Reynolds™ Baking Cups
1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 to 3 teaspoons milk
4 cups powdered sugar
1 can (13.4 oz) dulce de leche (caramelized sweetened condensed milk)
Hot fudge sauce, if desired
Cashews, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Place Reynolds Baking Cups in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
  • In large bowl, beat cupcake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about two-thirds full).
  • Bake 19 to 24 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • For frosting, in large bowl beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla and 2 teaspoons of the milk with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Gradually beat in just enough remaining milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable.
  • Fit round tip (opening about 1/4 inch in diameter) in decorating bag. Spoon dulce de leche into bag. Insert tip in center of 1 cupcake, about halfway down. Gently squeeze decorating bag, pulling upwards until cupcake swells slightly and filling comes to the top. Repeat with remaining cupcakes. (Reserve remaining dulce de leche in decorating bag to decorate tops.)
  • Fit round or star tip (opening about 1/2 inch in diameter) into decorating bag. Spoon cream cheese frosting into bag; pipe frosting in circular motion on top of each cupcake. Pipe dulce de leche over cream cheese frosting in desired pattern. Garnish with hot fudge sauce and cashews. Store in refrigerator.

YUMMY OOEY GOOEY CARAMEL PUMPKIN BLONDIES



Yummy Ooey Gooey Caramel Pumpkin Blondies image

A friend a while back gave me this recipe after we had dinner at her house and she made this dessert. I had to have the recipe before we left for home. Oh my; what a great dessert. The only thing I changed in it was I added butterscotch chips. And Woody had me add a scoop of ice cream on top. We love it so much that I made it for Thanksgiving this year and it didn't last the weekend. It was so great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. MMMMMMMMM!!!!! I called my friend and told her how I changed her recipe just a little and she is going to try it my way next time she makes it.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin purée. Fresh pumpkin purée has a more intense flavor than canned pumpkin purée and will give your cupcakes a richer, more delicious taste.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cupcakes tough and dense. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cupcakes at a moderate temperature. A moderate temperature will help the cupcakes rise evenly and prevent them from over-browning.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
  • Use a piping bag to fill the cupcakes with caramel sauce. This will help you to create a neat and even filling.
  • Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also store them in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These Ooey-Gooey Pumpkin Caramel Cupcakes are the perfect fall treat. They're moist and fluffy, with a delicious pumpkin flavor. The caramel sauce filling adds a rich sweetness that takes these cupcakes to the next level. Whether you're serving them at a Halloween party or Thanksgiving dinner, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit.
