Instructions

Pumpkin Cupcakes

* Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Line muffin pans with muffin papers, you'll end up with about 18 cupcakes.

* In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

* In a large bowl beat together the oil, sugars, eggs & vanilla extract until no lumps remain (about 1-2 minutes).

* Mix in the pumpkin. 

* With the mixer on low speed mix in the flour mixture about ½ at a time alternating with ½ of the milk.

* Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each about ⅔ full. 

* Bake in the center rack of your oven for 16-19 minutes, or until the tops feel slightly firm to the touch and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

* In a large bowl beat the butter until fluffy - about 2 minutes. Then beat in the cream cheese.

* Add in the cinnamon & vanilla extract. 

* Beat in the powdered sugar about 1 cup at a time, starting with the mixer on low speed. If the frosting seems too thick, beat in the whipping cream 1 tablespoon at a time.

* Frost the cooled cupcakes using a flat knife or piping bag.
