Cooking Instructions

45 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt.

  3. 3

    In the bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add the eggs in one at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and beat to combine.

  4. 4

    With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients and pumpkin in 3 additions, alternating between the two. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, scraping the bowl in between additions, until the batter has just come together.

  5. 5

    Divide the batter evenly between the 12 liners,(you can use an ice cream scoop) and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

  6. 6

    For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese, butter, salt, and cinnamon on medium until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Turn the mixture down to low and add the confectioners sugar.Beat until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl when necessary.Add the vanilla and continue beating until combined. Once finished, store frosting in fridge for at least 30 mins till it firms up a bit. Pipe or spread the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.

  8. 8

    Top with pecans or walnuts to fancy it up. :) Store cupcakes in fridge and let them sit out for at least 30 mins before serving them.
