PUMPKIN STREUSEL SPICE CAKE OR CUPCAKES



Pumpkin Streusel Spice Cake or Cupcakes image

I was asked to make pumpkin cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes for a party. I searched alot of recipes and since I ran out of sugar making the chocolate ones, I decided to use a cake mix recipe for the pumpkin ones, with my own twist. I like the combo of spices rather than just pimpkin pie spice. They were a big hit and led to an order for 18 of them in a few days. Enjoy!

PUMPKIN SPICE CUPCAKES

Rustle up a batch of these moreish pumpkin spice cupcakes as a treat in the autumn. Top with cream cheese icing and dust with extra pumpkin spice

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

140g butter, softened
120g golden caster sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
140g self-raising flour
2 tbsp pumpkin spice mixture or you can make your own (see 'goes well with')
2-3 tbsp milk, plus extra for the icing if needed
100g unsalted butter, softened
100g icing sugar, sieved
½ tbsp pumpkin spice mixture
200g full-fat soft cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake cases. Beat the butter and sugar together using an electric whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy, scraping down the edges to combine. Gradually beat in the eggs and vanilla.
  • Fold in the flour and pumpkin spice, followed by the milk, and combine until you have a smooth batter. Using a tablespoon, divide the mixture between the cupcake cases, around two-thirds full. Bake for 12-15 mins - they should be firm to the touch and slightly golden brown. Cool in the tin for 5 mins, then lift them out gently onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the cream cheese icing. Using a stand mixer or electric whisk, beat the butter, icing sugar and pumpkin spice mix together until it turns smooth and pale, about 1-2 mins. Add the soft cheese and whisk for a further 3-4 mins until it thickens - it will turn runny and then thicken up again.
  • You can either put the icing into a piping bag and pipe it in a circle on top of the cooled cupcakes, or spoon it on top of the cupcakes and swirl it with the back of a spoon. Dust with extra pumpkin spice, if you like.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Making your own pumpkin puree is easy and ensures the best flavor. Simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and blend until smooth.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Use a light touch when measuring the flour: Too much flour can make the cake dry. Spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is fully baked.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

This pumpkin streusel spice cake is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall. With its moist and flavorful crumb, sweet streusel topping, and warm spices, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
