Number Of Ingredients 6

1 box duncan hines spice cake mix
1/3 c water
1/3 c vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 can(s) 15oz. pure pumpkin puree
cream cheese frosting

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350'F Add all ingredients together into a bowl
  • 2. Mix all ingredients together until well incorporated.
  • 3. Place cupcake liners in muffin pan and scoop enough batter about a little more than half way to the top of the liner. I use a Ice Cream Scoop to do this it fills about the right amount.
  • 4. Bake cupcakes about 18-20 minutes until toothpick inserted into cupcake comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool in muffin pans before frosting.
  • 5. Place frosting in a sandwich or ziploc bag and snip the corner, swirl frosting on top of cupcakes.
  • 6. Decorate with candy pumpkins, candy corn, Halloween Peeps, pumpkin spice or caramel topping.
  • 7. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Most of all ENJOY!

Tips:

  • For the perfect pumpkin puree, bake a pumpkin at 375°F for about an hour or until tender. Then, scoop out the flesh and blend until smooth.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough cupcakes.
  • Don't overfill the cupcake liners. Fill them only about 2/3 full.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them.
  • For the best flavor, use a good quality cream cheese frosting.
  • Feel free to decorate the cupcakes with your favorite toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or candy.
