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

¼ cup butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

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.

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.

3/4 cup butter, softened
2 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 (15 ounce) can solid-pack pumpkin
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup buttermilk
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree has a more intense flavor than canned pumpkin puree. If you don't have fresh pumpkin, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using it.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can make the cupcakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a cupcake pan with liners. Cupcake liners help to prevent the cupcakes from sticking to the pan and make them easier to remove.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a piping bag or ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to frost the cupcakes. This will help you to create smooth, even frosting.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting are a delicious and festive treat for fall. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a special snack. With a few simple tips, you can make these cupcakes at home and enjoy them with your family and friends.
