Ingredients

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cups pure pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric hand or stand mixer on medium speed.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Mix in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternatively add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet ingredients in three batches, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting with your favorite frosting, such as cream cheese frosting.
