My favorite Pumpkin Cupcake

Fall is arguably the best season of the year in Texas. We get some days of summer, and some days that give us a glimpse of the winter season that is on its way. I am determined to make the most out of fall this year because I think it is highly underrated. Although we do have classes and projects to complete in college, kids to take to school, and careers that create hectic schedules this time of year, why not enjoy the simplicity and comfort of the fall season? Follow my blog for fall inspiration throughout October and November!
Pumpkin Cupcakes
a This week my friend and I were looking for a fall treat we could bake and deliver to people. These turned out to be delicious! They are also super easy to make! What you will need:
• 2 1/4 cups of all purpose flour • 1 tablespoon of baking powder • 1/2 tablespoon baking soda • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg • 1/2 cup of butter, softened • 1 1/3 cups sugar • 2 eggs, whisked • 1 cup of mashed cooked or canned pumpkin • 3/4 cup milk • 2 containers of Pillsbury Cream Cheese Frosting • Cupcake Liners • Cupcake baking tray Combine all these ingredients in a bowl, and whisk the mixture until it is mixed into a batter. Pour batter into the cupcake liners (Makes about 24 cupcakes) and cook in the oven at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Once you take out the cupcakes, let them cool and frost them with cream cheese frosting.
