PUMPKIN CUPCAKES

 These pumpkin cupcakes just can't go wrong. They are moist and delicious,perfect for a party. Quick and easy to make. Thanks to a pumpkin puree and spices they will bring the amazing autumn vibe and the smell will make anyone hungry.

With this recipy you will make about 20 cupcakes,depending on how big cupcake liners you want to use.

Ingredients :

• 220 g all-purpose flour
• 130 g brown sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1,1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 2 eggs
• 220 g pumpkin puree
• 100 ml vegetable oil
• 60 ml milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Sieve all the dry ingredients in to a bowl and mix untill combined.

In a different bowl mix the eggs and sugar. After they are combined start adding the vegetable oil,milk and pumpkin puree. 

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until all is combined.  

Place your cupcake liners in a cupcake (muffin) tray and fill them in with the mixture. Place the filled tray in a preheated oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 20-30 minutes. 

To check if the cupcakes are ready insert a toothpick in the middle to see if it comes out clean, if it does they are ready. Take them out of the oven and leave on the side to cool.

Now you can top and decorate your cupcakes with what ever you like. If you want to use a vanilla butter cream for that here is a way to do it.

Ingredients for the butter cream :

• 250 g room temperature butter
• 150 g icing sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Mix the butter in a mixer for not less then 5 minutes. When the butter gets very light in colour and will double in size start mixing in the icing sugar in sections. When that is all combined mix in the vanilla extract and any spices or food colouring of choice.

After decorating the cupcakes, put them in the fridge for about 30 minutes so the butter cream gets stiff and stays in place.

ENJOY!
