Halloween Cupcake Recipe

Hello Internet Lovelies.
Halloween is over and I recently posted a cupcake video on my Youtube Channel. It was super fun to make, and I loved the aftermath even more.

I promised the recipe here on my blog but just realised I forgot to post it so here you go.

They were really easy to make, and delicious to eat. I will be making these often as honestly they were some of the best cupcakes I have ever eaten.


Ingredients:

1 cup and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (found in the international section: hear story in video.)

Preheat an oven to 190 degrees C. Grease 24 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners. 

Sift together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, allspice, salt, baking powder, and baking soda; set aside.
Beat the butter, the white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in colour. 

Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next.

Stir in the milk and pumpkin puree after the last egg. Stir in the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 25 minutes. 

Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing:


1 Pack of cream cheese, softened (I used Philadelphia)
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1-1/2 cups icing sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

While the cupcakes are cooling, make the icing by beating the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer in a bowl until smooth. Beat in the Icing sugar a little at a time until incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon; beat until fluffy. Once the cupcakes are cool, frost with the cream cheese icing.

I winged the icing. I just added whatever felt right which was more of everything!

Enjoy making these beauties, they were honestly so delicious!

Here is the video I posted on youtube. Make sure to give it a watch!
