Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 24-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, shortening, softened butter, milk, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and well combined. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour, dry buttermilk powder, cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the spices and leavening agents. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet pumpkin mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cupcakes. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Carefully pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. This allows the cupcakes to rise without overflowing. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, or when the center of the cupcakes spring back when touched lightly. (30 minutes)

07

Step

Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from sticking and helps maintain their shape. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
To make a simple cream cheese frosting, beat together 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of softened butter, 2 cups of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Frost the cooled cupcakes and enjoy!
These cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
