In my last post, I shared with you that I also baked pumpkin cupcakes for my guests at the book club meeting that I hosted last week. As we are about to celebrate Thanksgiving, I thought now is the perfect timing to share this recipe with you.
I usually serve those cupcakes during my Thanksgiving dinner. They will be a great addition to your Thanksgiving dessert table. The recipe is simple and they are delicious. Enjoy!

- 1 tsp of Baking Soda
- ½ tsp of Baking Powder
- ¼ tsp of Salt

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, line a 12-piece muffin tin with liners, and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla, eggs, and pumpkin puree.
Add the flour, the baking powder and soda, the cinnamon, the allspice, the salt, and the nutmeg. mix just until everything is incorporated.
Using a louche or an ice cream scoop, fill the liners about 2/3 of the way full with the batter.

Once the cupcakes are completely cool, cover them with the frosting.

I love cupcakes and your frosting makes your cupcakes even more inviting. Would I wait to have a bite? Oh my! I’d be too anxious if I smelt the aroma. Yummy!
They did smell good and I am thinking of something else to use the frosting

My older daughter is the baker of the family, so I don’t bake often. These cupcakes were pretty simple and easy to make, Clarice.

Great recipe for Pumpkin cupcakes. Love how you didn’t waste money on “pumpkin spice” but rather made your own blend naturally with cinnamon and allspice! If you added a touch of nutmeg it may be a perfect pumpkin spice blend.
I’ve never tried pumpkin cakes earlier. They look tasty. Id love to try them!
I love pumpkins & reading this recipe sharing now making me superb craving to have a bite on the pumpkin cupcake 😀 cheers, siennylovesdrawing
This cupcake recipe looks delicious! I’ve saved it for my fall/thanksgiving and even Christmas baking!
Awesome, I hope you like them as much as we did.
