Okay so my favourite thing about fall is everything pumpkin, which can also spill into the Christmas season...we have pumpkin pie for dessert at Christmas dinner as well as Thanksgiving! I wait all year until Starbucks brings out their Pumpkin spice Latte's so I'm excited to be able to make a little Pumpkin Spiced treat at home! I found this recipe on the handle the heat website.
Yield: 24 cupcakes
Ingredients:
For the cupcakes:
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons espresso powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup canola or vegetable oil
3 large eggs
For the whipped cream:

1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
For garnish:

cinnamon
Caramel Sauce
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons espresso powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup canola or vegetable oil
3 large eggs
For the whipped cream:
2 1/4 cups heavy cream, chilled
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
For garnish:
caramel sauce
cinnamon
Caramel Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
Preparation
Bring cream, brown sugar and butter to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer sauce until reduced to 1 3/4 cups, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Before using, rewarm over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.)
Directions:
For the cupcakes:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line cupcake pans with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, espresso powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Stir together and set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix together the pumpkin, granulated sugar, brown sugar and oil on medium speed. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. With the mixture on low speed, add the flour mixture in two additions, mixing just until incorporated.
Fill the cupcake liners about three-quarters full.
Bake until the cupcakes are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 18-20 minutes.
Transfer the pans to a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes, then remove the cupcakes from the pans. Let cool completely.
For the frosting:
Place the heavy cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium-low speed at first, gradually increasing to high speed.
Blend in the confectioners’ sugar gradually. Whip until stiff peaks form, being careful not to over-beat.
Use a pastry bag fitted with a decorative tip to frost the cooled cupcakes. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and drizzle with caramel sauce.
Store in an airtight container and refrigerate
