Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a separate smaller bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until creamy and smooth.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the pumpkin cupcake batter into each liner, filling them halfway.
Add a heaping teaspoon of the cheesecake mixture on top of the batter in each liner.
Cover the cheesecake mixture with another tablespoon of pumpkin batter, making sure the liners are no more than 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cupcake portion (not the cheesecake center) comes out clean.
Cool the cupcakes in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, top the cupcakes with whipped cream or a light dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
