Okay, I couldn't resist one last minute idea for a
Thanksgiving dessert. This easy Thanksgiving recipe is
simple to make. It is a pumpkin cupcakes recipe that takes
just minutes but is delicious and will impress your guests.
One of the concepts I discuss in Budget Bash is to make
your parties as stress free as possible. This Thanksgiving
dessert is an easy Thanksgiving recipe and I made these
cupcakes just a few weeks ago and they came out great.
This pumpkin cupcakes recipe I picked up from Real Simple
Magazine and modified it slightly.
1 18.5 oz box of yellow cake mix (plus the ingredients
called for in the packaged directions)
Cinnamon, Ginger and Nutmeg to taste - Generally speaking I
use about:
1 teaspoon of cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of ginger and
¼ teaspoon of nutmeg
1 15 oz can of pumpkin puree
12 oz of cream cheese (Bar form, not whipped) - room
temperature
6 oz of butter - room temperature
2 cups of powdered sugar
½ teaspoon of vanilla
½ teaspoon of lemon juice
Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Use two 12-cup
muffin tins and line them with paper cupcake holders.
Prepare the cake mix as directed but with the following
changes:
Add the cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg to taste and substitute
the can of pumpkin puree for the water that is called for
on the package directions.
Pour the batter into the cupcake holders about half-way and
bake for about 18 to 22 minutes or until they are done and
then let cool.
In the meantime, combine the butter and cream cheese and
beat until smooth. Make sure they are both at room
temperature so that the icing is not lumpy. Add the sugar
and beat until smooth. Add the vanilla and the lemon juice
and mix.
Please note that everyone has a slightly different take on
cream cheese icing so you may want to add more sugar or
cream cheese, it's your decision. Once the cupcakes are
cooled, ice and serve.
You can put mini-pumpkin candies on the top of the cupcakes
if you desire for an added touch of décor.
I hope you enjoy this easy Thanksgiving recipe for an
additional Thanksgiving dessert item at your dessert buffet
or dinner table. This pumpkin cupcakes recipe takes no
time at all to make and the cupcakes are delicious and
moist. It is also a welcome addition to another
Thanksgiving dessert such as apple pie or pumpkin pie.
Until next time, remember the Budget Bash mantra: make it
simple, delicious, stylish, fun & economical to all!
