Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ready your cupcake liners in a muffin tin.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl: whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients in another bowl: whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Merge the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, fold it together gently until just combined.
  5. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for about 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  8. Prepare the frosting: beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  9. Frost the cooled cupcakes with the cream cheese frosting.

Notes

These cupcakes can be stored at room temperature for a couple of days. For a festive touch, serve with whipped cream and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon.
