Pumpkin Cupcakes
September 11, 2007 at 9:45 am | In recipe |
remember the pumpkin chocolate brownie cake? I loved its texture so much I decided to try and turn it into [non-chocolate] cupcakes.
I’m aware that Halloween is not before another 40 days minimum, but I don’t care. I’ve officially had it with the heat, so I’m rushing things up a little bit. or at least attempting to.
makes 12 cupcakes.
1/2 cup + 2 T all purpose flour [spoon and level method! *]
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour [spoon and level method! *]
1 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 t ground cinnamon
1/2 t ginger powder
1/2 t nutmeg powder
1/2 t sea salt
1/4 cup sour soy milk **
1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
4 T unsweetened apple sauce
3 T safflower oil or other neutral oil
2 t pure vanilla extract
line cupcake pans with cupcake liners. preheat your oven to 350F.
in a large bowl, prepare your sour soy milk and let sit for a few minutes.
in another large bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugars, spices, and salt. set aside.
in your sour soy milk bowl, add pumpkin, applesauce, oil, and vanilla. whisk until blended.
combine dry and wet ingredients, do not overmix.
pour batter in your cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
let cool on a rack. let cool completely before decorating with your favorite vegan cream cheese frosting.
* use a second measure to scoop the flour and drop it in the measure, and level it with a knife. that will ensure you don’t get too dense a cupcake.
** to make sour soy milk: start by putting 1 t apple cider vinegar in your measure, top it up with plain soy milk and let sit for a few minutes to have it curdle

these are like voodoo cupcakes, ushering in cooler weather! I was out yesterday, and all the stores had Halloween decorations- it won’t be long now!

I love Halloween, I cannot wait until October. The store where I work has had decorations since early August! Those cupcakes are awesome, I love the cute little skull.

Hey Celine! Thanks for the comment. Those pumpkin cupcakes look devilishly good. Halloween decorations are already out on our local stores,too. It won’t be very long now…. I can’t believe it!

Love your cupcake decoration! I’ve been seeing pumpkin everywhere it seems, high time I pick some up at the grocery store I’m thinking….

I *want* this cupcake.
I don’t think you’re celebrating too early for Halloween. (It’s NEVER too early. ;)) All the retail outlets I’ve seen already have their decorations up and I’ve seen several folks who are selling pumpkins … and today I saw the first “haunted house” (well, it was a barn) advertisement that opens next weekend. Woo! (And, not to rub it in your face, but today it really feels like Fall and it looks like the cooler temps may be here to stay!) Get your ass here, pronto! (And, bring those cupcakes! *laughs*)
I hope you’re having a great day!!
XOXOX

the AC cannot stop working, so I guess my attempt at making voodoo cupcakes [haha, Bazu] didn’t quite work the way it was supposed to. meh.
what am I supposed to do now: bake christmas cookies? play christmas songs? have some chubby dude put on a red suit and white beard? jeebus crust, already!

I don’t know if you will ever get this, as this is an older post, but I was curious if the original pumpkin chocolate brownie cake would work in the cupcake form? Did you leave out the chocolate for any specific reason? I have made these muffins before (and they are fabulous, by the way) but I wanted to put the chocolate back in! I want to take them to work with me, and cupcakes are just so easily portable!
Thanks so much!

it would definitely work with the chocolate, Courtney, I just left it out because I was on chocolate-break that day. :)

Thank you so much–I am making these tomorrow! I am sure they will be demolished in minutes at the office!

I just made these this evening to use the leftover pumpkin from a previous baking experiment. These cupcakes turned out well- they were very moist and had a PERFECT crust. The flavor was really impressive- I’ve been through many pumpkin muffin/cupcake recipes and this particular one stood out among the rest.
