Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners to ensure easy removal and cleanup.
- Mix Wet Ingredients and Spices: In a large bowl, combine the canned pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the pumpkin mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a smooth batter.
- Fill Cupcake Liners: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake the Cupcakes: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The cupcakes are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of maple syrup or molasses to the batter.
- These cupcakes can be topped with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.
- Ensure cupcakes are cooled completely before storage to prevent sogginess.
- Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
