I’m a big cupcake fan – I love that you can just grab and
go. No cutting and they come in a
perfect portion. I know that spring is
just around the corner but I was craving pumpkin so I remembered this recipe I
have wanted to try. It turned out
wonderfully – 10 out of 10! The cupcake
is so moist and the cinnamon cream cheese frosting gives it the perfect finish.
Makes 22 cupcakes
§ 2 1/4
cups unbleached all-purpose flour
§ 1
teaspoon ground cinnamon
§ 1
teaspoon ground nutmeg
§ 1
teaspoon ground ginger
§ 1
teaspoon ground allspice
§ 1 Tablespoon
baking powder

canola oil
§ 1 cup
granulated sugar
§ 1/3 cup
brown sugar, loosely packed
§ 2 eggs
§ 3/4 cup
milk
§ 1
(15-oz.) can pure pumpkin puree
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 muffin pans with paper
liners - set aside.
In medium bowl, blend the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger,
allspice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In large bowl, blend canola oil, granulated sugar, and brown
sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, blending well after each
addition. Stir in the milk and pumpkin puree and blend well. Add the flour
mixture into this pumpkin mixture and stir until blended. Pour batter into
muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted
in center comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in pans for about 5 minutes, then
remove to completely cool on a wire rack.
You can make the frosting while cupcakes are cooling…
