Pumpkin Cupcakes

I have seen this recipe all over Pinterest......2 ingredients for cake or cupcakes.

All you need is a can of pumpkin (15 oz......I had a large can, so used about half) and a cake mix.....spice cake was recommended, so we thought we would give it a try.

 

Just dump the 2 ingredients together and stir!

The girls wanted to help put the batter in the cups.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.

Then frost.

And enjoy!

 

D really enjoyed licking the frosting off!

 

All the children LOVED them (my boys left with their Nana, so they enjoyed theirs at the park).  And I have to say, they were AMAZING!!!

 

I read about different cake mixes and if you are wanting more of a pumpkin taste, go with the spice cake......the chocolate didn't taste like pumpkin, but said was really moist and still very good.  Just depends if you are wanting a pumpkin taste or not.  Will definitely be trying this with other cake mixes.....they were on sale last week, so I stocked up!

 

 

Here is the recipe for the frosting we used......the recipe came from Lena Kleiner.

 

Beat 1 package of cheesecake instant pudding mix with 1 cup cold milk and 1/2 cup powdered sugar for 2 minutes with your mixer.  Then gently fold in 1 container of cool whip.  Put it in the freezer for a bit to make it stiffer.  Frost your cupcakes and eat.....make sure you store the cupcakes in the fridge as they will melt.
