Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

Notes: 

(cake adapted from Martha Stewart) makes 24 cupcakes

From Cook:

Notes:

I used cake flour, but all purpose will work too. Just reduce to 2 cups.
I don’t think this cake needs frosting. I think it would be lovely served warm with butter for breakfast. But I don’t think that would fly for Halloween.
The quantities above for the frosting gave me enough to frost about 13 of the 24. You can see how high the frosting swirl was, so if you just frost them normally, you should have enough for 24. Or you can double it. Or you can leave some plain for breakfast. That’s what I did.
I used 1/4 cup measurer to scoop out my batter into the cups. Works perfectly.
Happy Halloween!
