Ingredients

Pumpkin Cupcakes

3 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon allspice

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

2 cups sugar

1 cup vegetable oil

3 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

4 cups shredded fresh pumpkin

4 ounces white chocolate, chopped

2 oz of white chocolate shavings

these are actually stupid simple pumpkin cupcakes with a mascarpone/cream cheese frosting (pink due to some food coloring) and white chocolate shavings to make them look "fluffy". they're fun to eat because sometimes you just want to be a kid and get your face and hads all dirty with frosting. they go great with tea which is what we did.

  1. Cut open pumpkin, take out the seeds and inner flesh, then chop into chunks. Grate the pumpkin chunks, skin and all, with a box grated or food processor until you have four cups of grated flesh.
  2. Measure the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg into a medium sized bowl and whisk to combine.
  3. Measure the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla into a large size bowl and stir to combine.
  4. Add about a fourth of the dry mixture to the wet and stir to combine. Continue adding in fourths until all the dry is incorporated. The result with be a very thick batter (and a sore arm).
  5. Fold in the pumpkin and chocolate chunks into the batter and scoop into cupcake papers about 2/3s full.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.

Frosting: 3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 6 Tb (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 1/3 cup mascarpone cheese,cold 3 Tb honey pink food coloring

mix like hell. refrigerate a bit

cover cooled cupcakes in this stuff and refrigerate. then sprinkle chocolate shavings. Drive really fast to your friend;s loft so they dont get all melted and call the skanks over for an old fashioned teaparty. oh- the -fun

    Blend a couple raspberries or strawberries in the icing to make it pink without food coloring. Regardless, I have drool on my beard.
