Ingredients
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons cake flour (140 grams)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon pumpkin spice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup vegetable oil (I use sunflower or corn oil) (50 grams)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
- ½ cup brown sugar (lightly packed) (90 grams)
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree (nothing added) (room temperature) (173 grams)
- 2 tablespoons milk (room temperature) (I used 2%)
*For room temperature, remove ingredients about 30-45 minutes from fridge before using.
FOR THE MAPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
- ¼ cup cream cheese (room temperature)(4 ounces) (56 grams)
- ¼ cup butter (soft) (56 grams)
- 2 cups powdered/icing sugar (240 grams)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon cream
Instructions
FOR THE CUPCAKES
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Line a 6 cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl beat together the vegetable oil, sugars, egg, vanilla, pumpkin puree and milk until well combined about 2-3 minutes on medium speed. Add the dry ingredients and beat to combine, for 2-3 minutes on medium speed.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners and bake for about 20-22 minutes. Check with toothpick for doneness. Let cool completely before frosting. Enjoy!
FOR THE FROSTING
- In a medium bowl beat together the cream cheese and butter until creamy, add the sugar, vanilla, maple syrup and cream until thick and combined well. While the cupcakes were cooling I refrigerated the frosting to thicken it up.
Notes
- You can easily make your own cake flour, for every cup of all purpose remove 2 tablespoons and replace with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Sift together before using.
