Arbeitsschritte:
- For the cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray, or you can use paper liners.
- Place the eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree and oil in a bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract and salt to the bowl. Stir until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting
- Place the butter and cream cheese in the bowl of a mixer and mix until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time and mix on low speed until combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix for 30 seconds.
- If the frosting is too thick, add 1 teaspoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Place the frosting in a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip. Pipe the frosting on the cupcakes, then top each cupcake with a candy pumpkin. Serve.
