Just in time to start October… here is my favorite pumpkin cupcakes recipe (from here). It’s actually the one I made to try and seduce my boyfriend nearly 4 years ago (spoiler alert : it worked!… but I was so nervous I didn’t even eat one !! )

Ingredients for 24 cupcakes:

  • 3 cups (390 g.) flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tsp. de cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cloves *
  • 1 c. tsp. salt
  • 1 cup (225 g.) butter, room temperature
  • 2 cupes (400 g.) brown sugar
  • 4 eggs **
  • 2 tbs vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (340 g.) pumpkin purée ***

For the icing

  • 1 paquet (250 g.) cream cheese
  • 4 Tbsp (60 g.) butter, toom tempearture
  • 3 cups(350 g.) icing sugar

*If I can’t find ground ones I grind them with whatever I have on hand because I tried grinding them in the vitamix… BAD IDEA IT ATTACKE THE PLASTIC !!

** you could probably veganise with 1 cup off applesauce! Will try next year!

*** If you live in america you can just buy some in a can. If not I buy frozen ones and defrost them and purée them by hand or in the blender (or you could buy a pumpkin, cook it and purée it… an make soup with the leftovers!)
