Does that make sense?
I mean, I didn't follow a recipe. I made it up as I went along. They turned out pretty well.
Pumpkin Cupcakes with Pumpkin filling & Cream Cheese Frosting...
That's a mouth full.
Cupcakes
1 box spice cake mix
1 cup canned pumpkin
3 eggs
1 1/2 cup water
Mix all ingredients until moistened and then mix for 2 minutes with a mixer on medium-high. Batter will be fluffy.
Fill paper lined baking cups 3/4 full. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. This batch actually made 30 cupcakes.
Filling
1 3 oz box of instant vanilla pudding
1 cup milk
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Whisk milk and pudding together for about a minute. Fold in pumpkin and spice. Chill until cupcakes are cooled. Pipe filling into cooled cupcakes. Just fill until you see the cupcake begin to expand.
If you don't have a piping tool, just use your melon ball tool and scoop out about 1 tsp of cake, fill with pudding mixture, put the cap back on.
Frosting
3/4 cup butter, room temp
12 oz cream cheese, room temp
2 tsp vanilla
6 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
milk
Mix butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla and spice. Gradually add sugar in mixer until all incorporated. Add milk 1 Tbsp at a time if needed for desired consistency.
Frost cooled and filled cupcakes.
These are super light cupcakes. You could make them without the filling....they will resemble a very light muffin. Be sure to chill them...they are even better.
Have a pumpkinie day.

Thanks for the recipe. I must not have been the only one who asked! It sounds completely yummy. And reasonably easy, too.
=)
Look at you! Now you're just writing your own recipes. I love it. I'll have to try this one. :)
I have never piped filling into anything in my LIFE.
But I am absolutely drooling all over myself about now.
This sounds fantastic and I can not wait to try your recipe. I am a new follower from the Wed. Hop.
