Pumpkin cupcakes pair perfectly with cream cheese frosting. There is just something about the combination of subtle autumn flavor so many of us love, topped with the perfectly sweet, but not too sweet, cream cheese frosting.
How to Make Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting!
- Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Line your muffin pan with paper liners. Check out these Halloween cupcake liners.
- Mix together spice cake mix, pumpkin, water, oil and eggs until well combined. Fill the cups 2/3 full with batter and bake for 18-23 minutes. You know they’re done when a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle.
- While your cupcakes are baking, whip up the cream cheese frosting! In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, butter, vanilla and sour cream until fluffy. Beat in powdered sugar until smooth.
- Don’t forget to let your cupcakes cool completely before frosting!
