I was looking for a new way to use my abundance of pumpkin, and this is sooo it! Thanks! Love the pic, the icing is perfect!
These look yummy! We've been craving a pumpkin roll here, but I think I'll have to give these a try. Thanks for sharing.
I'm in W.Va too!
Oh thanks for posting this! I love pumpkin... and cupcakes... so I HAVE to give this a try!!
I just finished this recipe -- simply amazing. Thanks so much!
This recipe looks really nice, but I would LOVE to know, how many ounces in the can of pumpkin?
Hi Genuine,
It's one cup of canned pumpkin. I do hope you try these.
When are we suppose to add the
Pumpkins? That step is missing
After the eggs. Sorry about that, it's fixed now.
From another Scarlett: I just stumbled upon this blog, and these look amazing. I'm not much of a baker, but I'm definitely going to try them; I have a ton of pumpkin I'm trying to use.
Oh my goodness!! These are the MOST amazing cupcakes I have ever tasted! Roommates and friends agree!
I blogged about it here:
