Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with 15 muffin liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves). Set this mixture aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree, oil, brown sugar, eggs, and milk.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each one about two-thirds full.
Baking
- Bake the cupcakes for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting
- To make the frosting, beat the butter until fluffy. Then add cream cheese, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, and continue to beat until smooth.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar and mix until everything is fully combined and fluffy.
- Frost the cooled cupcakes using a flat knife or a piping bag.
Notes
Serve these cupcakes at room temperature. For extra flair, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the frosting or a few pumpkin seeds for decoration. Store in an airtight container.
