Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • Cream Cheese Frosting (recipe below)
  • Optional: Cinnamon sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree and buttermilk.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the pumpkin mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, frost the cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if desired.

Notes

  • For the Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with ½ cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually beat in 3 cups of powdered sugar, alternating with 2-3 tablespoons of milk or cream, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for the best cake texture.
  • You can add a pinch of espresso powder to the batter for a stronger coffee flavor.
