Spice Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting image

Fluffy and sweet spiced cupcakes with an easy to make cream cheese frosting are perfect for the fall and winter seasons

Provided by Mikayla M

Categories     Dessert

Time 51m

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 ounces all-purpose flour (1 3/4 cups)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
6 ounces unsalted butter, softened (3/4 cup)
6 ounces brown sugar (3/4 cup)
3 ounces white sugar (a shallow 1/2 cup)
4 large eggs
3 tsp vanilla extract
4 ounces milk (1/2 cup)
4 ounces unsalted butter, softened (1/2 cup)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened (1/2 cup)
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch salt
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • Combine all the dry ingredients: flour, spices, salt, and baking powder, in a bowl and whisk to blend. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl beat the sugars and butter together until blended and fluffy, about 2 minutes on medium speed.
  • Add one egg at a time, beating each addition into the sugar/butter mixture completely before adding the next one.
  • Add in the milk and vanilla and beat until completely incorporated as well.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet batter and using a rubber spatula or spoon, fold the flour into the mix. Continue to gently lift and fold, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl until all the flour is incorporated and no dry spots remain.
  • Scoop into the cupcake liners so they're 3/4 of the way full. Place in oven and bake for 18 minutes. When the tops are golden brown and spring back against a gentle touch, or a toothpick inserted comes out clean, remove from the oven.
  • Take baked cupcakes out of the tin and onto a cooling rack to cool, then repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting or storing. Store unfrosted cupcakes in an airtight container for 2 days at room temperature or in the fridge for 1 week.
  • Beat together cream cheese, butter, salt, and vanilla until well blended and creamy.
  • Add one cup of sifted powdered sugar at a time, beating between each addition until all the powdered sugar is added and you have a creamy, sweet frosting with no lumps.
  • Add to piping bag or decorate cool cupcakes as desired.
  • Store unused frosting in the fridge for 1 week, and store frosted cupcakes in the fridge for up to 1 week. Allow to come to room temp before serving.

  • Bake the Cupcakes Until a Toothpick Inserted in the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that your cupcakes are cooked through.
  • Let the Cupcakes Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a Piping Bag or Ziploc Bag to Frost the Cupcakes: This will give you more control over the frosting and help you create a smooth, even finish.
  • Decorate the Cupcakes As Desired: You can use sprinkles, candy, or other decorations to make your cupcakes more festive.
