Instructions
Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until combined.
- In a separate bowl, add the milk, pumpkin puree, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until incorporated.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk just until combined. Scrape down the edges and bottom of the bowl.
- Fill each cupcake liner ¾ of the way full.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool 5 to 10 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack and cool completely.
Chocolate Buttercream
- Add the butter to a large bowl or stand mixer bowl. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes with the hand mixer or 1 minute with stand mixer.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the powdered sugar.
- Once all of the powdered sugar has been incorporated, add the melted chocolate and vanilla. Beat just until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Turn the mixer to medium high speed and beat until the frosting comes light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Add the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M tip.
- Pipe tall swirls of frosting on each cupcake.
- Place the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature.
