  • 3/4 cup(s) unsalted butter
  • 1 2/3 cup(s) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon(s) salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon(s) ground cloves
  • 1 cup(s) canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1 cup(s) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup(s) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • GLAZE
  • 1/2 cup(s) unsalted butter
  • 2 cup(s) powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon(s) milk

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns a golden brown color.
  • Drain the butter into a small bowl (leaving the foam on top behind) to let cool.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and nutmeg.
  • In another bowl, whisk the sugars, eggs, butter, and pumpkin puree.
  • Whisk in the flour mixture until combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly among paper-lined cups, filling each 3/4 full.
  • Bake until a cake tester inserted in the cupcakes comes out clean. This should take about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer cupcakes to wire racks to cool completely before glazing them.
  • To make the icing, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until brown in color. This might take about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and pour the butter into a bowl.
  • Stir in the powdered sugar, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of milk to the butter until smooth. You can add more milk by tablespoons if necessary. Use immediately or else it hardens!
  • To finish, spoon about 1 tablespoon of glaze over each cupcake. It's okay if it drips down the sides!
