Instructions

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
  2. Add the cake mix, pumpkin spice pudding mix, canned pumpkin, eggs, water, and vegetable oil to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Mix until everything is well combined and the batter is smooth.
  4. Divide the batter evenly between the cupcake liners.
  5. Bake for about 19 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

Pumpkin Spice Buttercream

 

  1. Add the softened butter, pumpkin, pumpkin spice creamer, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Beat until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the powdered sugar and mix until combined.
  4. Continue beating until the frosting is light, smooth, and creamy.
  5. Pipe or spread the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
  6. Finish with a light sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

Notes

*If you can’t find the Jello listed, use 1 box of vanilla pudding + 1/2 tsp. of Pumpkin Pie Spice and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon.
