Pumpkin cupcakes with frosting … one leads to another!
Pumpkin cupcake recipe, perfect for those looking for a Halloween dessert to prepare on other occasions.
Pumpkin cupcakes are delicious desserts characterized by a pumpkin- flavored dough . They have the unmistakable shape of a cake, reminiscent of that of muffins, to which, however, a delicious frosting is added, a soft coating based on spreadable cheese, butter and powdered sugar. You can prepare these treats for a Halloween party or simply if you have a lot of pumpkin to consume!
Preparation of pumpkin cupcakes
- Take the pumpkin, remove the seeds and peel until the required amount of pulp is obtained. Rinse quickly under cold water then place it on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
- Bake in a hot oven at 200 ° C for about 20 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked pumpkin to the blender jug, blend until smooth and set aside.
- Now put the slightly softened butter (120 g) in a bowl, add the brown sugar and start mixing with the electric whisk so as to obtain a soft dough.
- Add one egg at a time without stopping mixing and waiting for the first one to be well absorbed before adding the other.
- Add the sifted flour and baking powder and mix again.
- At this point also add the pureed pumpkin pulp and mix everything.
- Distribute the dough in special muffin or cupcake molds, taking care not to fill them more than 2/3 full.
- Bake in the oven at 180 ° C for 20 minutes , take the sweets out of the oven and let them cool.
- In the meantime, you can dedicate yourself to the preparation of the frosting for the covering: whip the remaining butter with the cheese and the icing sugar until you get a cream .
- Transfer it to a pastry bag and decorate the surface of your cold sweets as you prefer. Finish by decorating with a little brown sugar or crumbs of dough.
storage
The cupcakes thus prepared can be stored for 2-3 days at room temperature in an airtight container. However, we recommend that you keep the base of the sweets separately, from the frosting cream which can be kept 1-2 days in the refrigerator tightly closed in a container.
