Time 1h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 15

Reynolds™ Baking Cups
1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 to 3 teaspoons milk
4 cups powdered sugar
1 can (13.4 oz) dulce de leche (caramelized sweetened condensed milk)
Hot fudge sauce, if desired
Cashews, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Place Reynolds Baking Cups in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
  • In large bowl, beat cupcake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about two-thirds full).
  • Bake 19 to 24 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • For frosting, in large bowl beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla and 2 teaspoons of the milk with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Gradually beat in just enough remaining milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable.
  • Fit round tip (opening about 1/4 inch in diameter) in decorating bag. Spoon dulce de leche into bag. Insert tip in center of 1 cupcake, about halfway down. Gently squeeze decorating bag, pulling upwards until cupcake swells slightly and filling comes to the top. Repeat with remaining cupcakes. (Reserve remaining dulce de leche in decorating bag to decorate tops.)
  • Fit round or star tip (opening about 1/2 inch in diameter) into decorating bag. Spoon cream cheese frosting into bag; pipe frosting in circular motion on top of each cupcake. Pipe dulce de leche over cream cheese frosting in desired pattern. Garnish with hot fudge sauce and cashews. Store in refrigerator.

PUMPKIN CARAMEL CUPCAKES



Pumpkin Caramel Cupcakes image

Not only do kids love to eat these cupcakes, they can help bake them, too. To make things even easier for them, we got the idea to dunk them in premade caramel apple dip instead of using frosting. -Donna Schaab, Belleville, Illinois

  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened before beating them together. This will help to create a smooth and creamy batter.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the caramel. The better the chocolate, the better the cupcakes will taste.
  • Don't overcook the caramel. It should be thick and gooey, but not hard.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a piping bag to apply the frosting to the cupcakes. This will give them a professional look.
  • Garnish the cupcakes with a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or caramel drizzle. This will add a touch of elegance and make them even more irresistible.
  • These cupcakes are perfect for any occasion. They're delicious, beautiful, and sure to be a hit with everyone who дар tried them.
  • These cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • To make these cupcakes ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and let them cool completely. Then, frost them and store them in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When you're ready to serve them, thaw them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
