Judging by the popularity of cupcakes nowadays, I think it’s safe to say that most people won’t say no to one. So this Thanksgiving (or anytime, really), why not make cupcakes for dessert? They’re easy, they’re fun and they are so delicious!
Pumpkin cupcakes are especially easy to make – all you need is a box of spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin puree. Pour ingredients into a large mixing bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until moistened. Then, using an electric mixer, combine the two on medium speed for about 2 minutes or until mixed thoroughly. Divide evenly into paper lined cupcake cups and bake 350 degrees for15-20 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans on a wire racks for 10 minutes, then remove cupcakes to wire racks to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost and serve.

I want to make your pumpkin cupcakes tomorrow morning. (29 Oct!) When preparing do I add eggs, oil and water as indicated on the box. Or do I indeed add the pumpkin only to the cake mix??????
It sounds great and I am looking forward to trying them!!!!
@lu No, just dry spice cake mix and canned pumpkin – that’s it! Enjoy
