PUMPKIN SPICE CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This is a wonderful recipe I discovered and changed a bit to suit my taste. I love the flavor of pumpkin and the cinnamon makes ordinary cream cheese frosting extra special. When I made a batch for my husband to take to work, he said they disappeared in record time. -Debbie Wiggins, Longmont, Colorado

PUMPKIN CUPCAKES WITH CREAMY CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
These are very moist and rise very high when baked, they are fairly sweet so you may wish to reduce the sugar by a few tablespoons. You may also bake in jumbo muffin tins to yield 10 and increasing the baking time. These are very good!

Steps:
- Set oven to 350 degrees F (set oven rack to second-lowest position).
- Prepare 18 muffin tins fitted with paper liners fitted in each tin.
- For the cupcakes; In a large mixing bowl beat together the oil with eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree and vanilla until well combined.
- In another bowl combine the flour with the next 4 ingredients; add to the pumpkin mixture and beat until well combined.
- Fill each tin about three-quarters full.
- Bake for about 18-22 minutes or until cupcakes test done.
- Cool completely before filling.

- Add in confectioners sugar and beat until creamy (adding in more cream or milk if necessary to achieve the right consistency for spreading).
- Spread onto the top of each cooled cupcake.
Tips:
- For the perfect cupcakes, use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients. This will ensure accuracy and consistency in your batter.
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to create a light and fluffy batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense cupcakes.
- Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cupcakes.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- For a smooth and creamy frosting, use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the powdered sugar gradually to the frosting, beating well after each addition.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream.
Conclusion:
These pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting are the perfect fall treat. They are moist and flavorful, with a light and fluffy texture.
