ingredients

2 cup sugar granulated

1.25 cup canola oil

1 medium can pumpkin

4 eggs

2 cup all-purpose flour

1.5 teaspoons baking soda

1.5 teaspoons baking powder

2.5 teaspoons cinnamon

0.5 teaspoons ginger ground

0.25 teaspoons allspice

1.25 teaspoons kosher salt

1 stick butter

8 ounces cream cheese

1 pounds powdered sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

0.5 teaspoons kosher salt

directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Cream together granulated sugar, oil, pumpkin and eggs until well mixed, about 2 minutes. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and powder, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and salt. Add to wet ingredients and mix until smooth and combined, about 30 seconds (don't over-mix).

Step 3

Line muffin tins with cupcake liners. Pour batter into liners and bake 15-20 minutes at 350 (or make into a cake by pouring batter into a greased 10×13 pan and baking for 35-45 minutes). Cool completely on a cooling rack.

Step 4

Beat butter and cream cheese on high speed for 2 minutes. Add sugar, vanilla and salt. Mix until smooth. Frost each cupcake generously. Makes 24 regular size cupcakes or 48 mini cupcakes.
