Instructions

1. Line a 12-cup cupcake tin with paper liners and fill each about two-thirds full.
2. Bake in a 180°C / 375°F oven for 15 minutes, or until the cupcakes spring back when lightly pressed. Cool completely.
3. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt into a mixing bowl and mix with a wooden spoon.
4. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar, oil and vanilla until well combined.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold with a wooden spoon until no dry flour shows.
6. For the frosting, beat the butter on high speed for 3 to 4 minutes until pale and almost doubled in volume.
7. Add the softened cream cheese and beat for about a minute until combined.
8. Add the icing sugar in three additions, letting each one incorporate and scraping down the bowl before the next.
9. Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes and optionally dust with cinnamon sugar.
10. Chill the frosting in the fridge for 20 minutes before piping for a firmer texture.
