NEW Recipe for Fall!



Pumpkin Spice Mocha Cupcake Recipe
 
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon                                             
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger                        
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup Fireside Pumpkin Pie Mocha coffee powder
Chopped nuts (optional)


Pumpkin Pie Cream Cheese Frosting

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons Fireside Pumpkin Pie Mocha coffee powder

Directions
1.                                 Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners. Sift together the flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, allspice, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and coffee powder; set aside.
2.                                 Beat 1/2 cup of butter, the white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Stir in the milk and pumpkin puree after the last egg. Stir in the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
3.                                 Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
4.                                 While the cupcakes are cooling, make the frosting by beating the cream cheese and 1/4 butter with an electric mixer in a bowl until smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar a little at a time until incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and coffee powder; beat until fluffy. Let frosting sit for about an hour in the fridge. Once the cupcakes are cool, frost with the cream cheese icing and top with chopped nuts if desired.
