    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
    • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1/4 cup milk
  • For the Frosting:
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 2 cups powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the Topping:
    • Whipped cream
    • Ground cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Make the Cupcake Batter:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
    • In another bowl, mix the oil, pumpkin puree, eggs, and milk until well combined.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Bake the Cupcakes:
    • Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Prepare the Frosting:
    • In a large bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
    • Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until fully incorporated.
    • Mix in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  • Frost and Garnish:
    • Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the cream cheese frosting.
    • Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.

Notes

For an extra touch, add crushed graham crackers on top for a pie crust effect!
