Ingredients
Cupcakes:
- 2 large eggs

- 1 can 420g plain pumpkin puree (not fresh puree)
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¾ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp allspice

Instructions
Bake the cupcakes:
- Combine the eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree and butter in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cloves. Add this to the pumpkin mixture and mix well.
- Divide the batter into lined cupcakes pans. Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Make the buttercream:
- Beat the butter, canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Add the confectioner’s sugar one cup at a time, beating with each addition. Add the orange food colouring and beat for 3-5 minutes, until fluffy.
- Place the buttercream in a piping bag fitted with a large star-shaped piping tip.
Assembly:
- Pipe swirls of buttercream onto the cupcakes. Decorate with leaf sprinkles and candy pumpkins. Enjoy!
