INGREDIENTS
What you will need :)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
In a mixing bowl, Whisk together: flour, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking powder, and baking soda
Set aside mixture
In a new bowl, add sugar, brown sugar, butter, and vegetable oil
Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy!
Mix in the eggs
Stir in milk and pumpkin purée
Slowly add in all of the flour mixture that you set aside earlier. I like to do about a half cup at a time
Once all of the flour is in, add the pudding. This is my secret to keeping the cupcakes moist.
Allocate mixture into baking cups; should make 24!
Bake for about 20-25 minutes in the oven
make the icing :) Mix in cream cheese, 2 tbsp of cinnamon, sugar, and 1/4 stick of softened butter. Note: most recipes call for confectioners sugar but I use granulated- gives it a nice texture
Once cupcakes are golden brown, remove from oven an let cool for 20 minutes
Add the icing ;)
