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

PUMPKIN CUPCAKES WITH CREAMY CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Pumpkin Cupcakes With Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting image

These are very moist and rise very high when baked, they are fairly sweet so you may wish to reduce the sugar by a few tablespoons. You may also bake in jumbo muffin tins to yield 10 and increasing the baking time. These are very good!

Time 28m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
2 cups sugar
1 (15 ounce) can pure pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, softened (no substitutes)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons whipping cream, unwhipped
3 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees F (set oven rack to second-lowest position).
  • Prepare 18 muffin tins fitted with paper liners fitted in each tin.
  • For the cupcakes; In a large mixing bowl beat together the oil with eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree and vanilla until well combined.
  • In another bowl combine the flour with the next 4 ingredients; add to the pumpkin mixture and beat until well combined.
  • Fill each tin about three-quarters full.
  • Bake for about 18-22 minutes or until cupcakes test done.
  • Cool completely before filling.
  • For the frosting; in a bowl beat the cream cheese with butter, vanilla and cream until fluffy.
  • Add in confectioners sugar and beat until creamy (adding in more cream or milk if necessary to achieve the right consistency for spreading).
  • Spread onto the top of each cooled cupcake.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it in a food processor, or you can buy canned pumpkin puree.
  • Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour will make the cupcakes dry and crumbly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the cupcakes tough.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cupcakes.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off to frost the cupcakes.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for fall. They are easy to make and can be decorated with a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or candy corn. Whether you are serving them at a Halloween party or a Thanksgiving dinner, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit!
