Time 1h42m

Yield 12 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray
All-purpose flour
1 (18 1/4-ounce) box yellow cake mix
3/4 cup pumpkin puree, plus more if needed
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Red and yellow food coloring, if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the cake pan with nonstick cooking spray, coat with flour, and knock out the excess.
  • Combine the cake mix with the pumpkin puree and oil. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until well incorporated, about 2 minutes. Some pumpkin purees have more moisture than others, if the cake batter seems dry then add more pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup at a time.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, fill the molds 2/3 of the way to the top with batter. Bake until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 12 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, combine the icing ingredients and mix together until well blended; the icing should be thick but have a pourable consistency. If it's too thick add a little water to thin. If you want the color to be more orange add a few drops of red and yellow food coloring. Dip the top 1/2 of each cupcake into the icing and place onto a sheet pan fitted with a wire rack allowing the icing to drip down the sides. Let icing set for 1 hour before serving.

These cupcakes were a disappointment. They were dry and the frosting was too sweet.

These cupcakes are so easy to make and they always turn out perfect. I love that I can use canned pumpkin, so I can make them any time of year.

These pumpkin cupcakes were a hit! They were moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of pumpkin and spice. The cream cheese frosting was the perfect finishing touch.
