We wanted to show Kristy how much she means to us so we baked a batch of Pumpkin Cupcakes for her birthday! This recipe is so easy and is made up of things normally found in my kitchen. I keep a can of pumpkin in my pantry ready to be able to whip this up any time in the fall and winter months.
Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Recipe from the Spring House Restaurant in Woodstock,Virginia. This makes two cakes (make two instead of one thick one, they are better thinner, for more icing on each bite, or 48 cupcakes! I froze half to eat closer to Halloween).This cake mix is very tasty! This recipe could easily be cut in half, it makes a great deal of batter.
3 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 1/4 cups oil
large can of plain pumpkin ( not the "pie" mix)
3 cups of flour
1 TBL of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
1 TBL baking soda (or slightly less)
Icing: 2 packages of cream cheese, 1 1/2 sticks of real butter, 1 and 1/2 pounds of powdered sugar, and 2 tsp. vanilla. Enjoy!
