Fall in Love with These Adorable Pumpkin Cupcakes
Are you ready to indulge in the perfect fall treat? Look no further! These pumpkin cupcakes are a delightful twist on traditional pumpkin bread, packed with flavor and charm.
The Perfect Blend of Spices
To create these autumnal wonders, start by combining the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them together to ensure they’re evenly distributed and lump-free.
Moist and Delicious
Next, combine sugar, oil, eggs, and pumpkin puree in a stand mixer. Beat the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy, then gradually add the dry ingredients until just combined.
Bake to Perfection
Divide the batter evenly among 24 muffin wells and bake at 350°F for 12 minutes. Rotate the pans and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Cool and Frost
Let the cupcakes cool completely before topping them with a rich Pumpkin-Cream Cheese Frosting. This indulgent treat is sure to become a new fall favorite.
