Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the sugars with the vegetable oil until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the pumpkin and vanilla.

Notes

  • For an extra touch, drizzle additional salted caramel sauce on top of the frosted cupcakes.
  • Ensure the cupcakes are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
