Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Put cupcake liners into 12 muffin tin pan. In a large bowl or kitchenmaid mixing bowl, mix the cake mix, canned pumpkin, eggs, vegetable oil, cinnamon and nutmeg until blended and creamy. Each liner should be 2/3 of the way through with batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes/per batch. Use a toothpick to check doneness (done when toothpick comes out clean)
  3. After the cupcakes have completely cooled, start making the frosting. Beat together the cream cheese and softened (not melted) butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, pumpkin and cinnamon until creamy. Frost cupcakes however you wish. Enjoy! 🙂
