Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup pumpkin puree
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 large egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup milk
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons applesauce
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons Kahlua
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg, brown sugar and white sugar together, until smooth. Stir in the milk, vegetable oil, applesauce, pumpkin and walnuts, until just combined. Do not over mix.
  • Fill a cupcake pan with the batter 4/5 full.
  • Bake in the oven for 16 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool.
  • While the cupcakes are cooling, make the frosting. In a large bowl, beat the the cream cheese, butter and Kahlua together using an electric mixer. Gradually add in the confectioners' sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Frost the cupcakes. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree will give your cupcakes a more intense pumpkin flavor. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cupcakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the right temperature. The cupcakes should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Use a piping bag to frost the cupcakes. This will give your cupcakes a professional look.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin cupcakes with Kahlua cream cheese frosting are the perfect fall treat. They are moist and flavorful, with a delicious cream cheese frosting that is spiked with Kahlua. These cupcakes are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
