Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 24 cupcakes, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box yellow cake mix
4 egg whites
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 (8 ounce) package neufchatel cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line two 12-muffin pans with paper baking cups.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, egg whites, water, oil, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon.
  • Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  • Fill each paper cup about 3/4 full with batter.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean. Set aside on metal rack to cool.
  • Prepare frosting by placing cream cheese, butter, sugar and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl.
  • Beat on medium until well-combined and smooth.
  • For a prettier, more elegant presentation, use a piping bag to frost cooled cupcakes. Decorate with sprinkles or other fall/halloween deco items if desired.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own by roasting a pumpkin and then puréeing the flesh, or you can buy canned pumpkin puree.
  • Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour can make the cake dry. For the most accurate measurement, use a kitchen scale to weigh the flour.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take too long to bake and will be dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

This pumpkin spice cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting is a delicious and festive fall treat. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is smooth and creamy. With its warm spices and rich pumpkin flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
