My family’s favorite pumpkin cupcake recipe is packed with flavor thanks to pumpkin, brown sugar, and lots of spices. These pumpkin spice cupcakes are really easy to make. Before frosting them, make sure your cupcakes are completely cool (otherwise the frosting will melt).
Ingredient:
- 1 ½ cups (195g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (227g) pure pumpkin puree, try homemade pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup (170g) cream cheese at room temperature
- 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter at room temperature
- 2 cups (227g) powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 tablespoon milk or orange juice to thin frosting
