Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp cloves
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

Warm up your oven to 350F 175C and put cupcake liners in a muffin tin

Mix the cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves with a whisk in a bowl

Granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil should all be mixed together well in a different bowl

One at a time, add the eggs and beat well after each one

It will be smooth after you mix in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing them in with buttermilk every so often

Start with the dry ingredients and end with the buttermilk

Dont mix any further than that

Fill each cupcake liner about two thirds of the way to the top with batter

In a hot oven, bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

For a few minutes, let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin

Then, move them to a wire rack to cool completely

Get the cream cheese frosting ready while the cupcakes cool

Place the cream cheese frosting on top of the cupcakes once they are completely cool
