The dulce de leche cream cheese frosting on top of these tiny pumpkin spice cupcakes makes them taste like fall. Great for fall parties or any time you want a sweet treat.
Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 cup pumpkin puree. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted. 1/4 cup milk. 1 egg. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup dulce de leche. 4 oz cream cheese, softened. 1/4 cup powdered sugar. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Tiny pumpkin candies for decoration.
Instructions: Warm up your oven to 350F 175C and put paper liners in a mini cupcake tin. Mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a bowl with a whisk. Melt the butter and add the milk and egg to a different bowl. Beat the ingredients together until they are well mixed. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix them together until they are just combined. Be careful not to mix too much. The batter should be about two thirds of the way up each mini cupcake liner. It's done when a toothpick stuck in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean after 12 to 15 minutes of baking. Let the cupcakes cool for a few minutes in the pan, then move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down. Put the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients together until they are smooth and creamy. Spread some dulce de leche on top of each cupcake after they have cooled all the way down. Put some cream cheese frosting on top of the dulce de leche layer on each cupcake. You can pipe it on or spread it out. Add some small pumpkin candies as a decoration. Serve and have fun!
