I recently realized that my fur vest isn’t the only thing I crave when the weather starts to turn to fall. Anything pumpkin comes in at a close second. So when I spotted this pumpkin cupcake recipe on Pinterest the other day, I headed to the kitchen to whip them up immediately. The best part about this recipe is that it has 4 ingredients (3 if you’re like me and don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand). One box of yellow cake mix + half a can of pumpkin + one cup of water, and you’ve got yourself some seriously delicious/easy/fast cupcakes. I ended up using a mini bundt pan because I had one, but cupcakes would bake up the same. Top with a powdered sugar + vanilla + milk glaze, and fall is officially in your kitchen.
*a mom tip I’ve always used when frosting/glazing baked goods…poke holes throughout so frosting seeps down into the cake. What’s not to love?

mhmmm looks good – who doesn’t love Mom tips? i live by them…. i have a little voice in my head – my Mom’s telling me what she would do all the time – sometime annoying but mainly very helpful!
I SO agree… love all things pumpkin! These look amazing… love your cute molds!
omg i love the idea of baking a cupcake in a bundt mold. its all about presentation.
These look insanely delicious….. I may need to bake today!!!
Ooooo I think I need to bake these for our Halloween Office bake-off! They look perfect, like what I see in the Corner Bakery glass counter…
I’ve made something similar – to add the “spice” use a spice cake mix instead of yellow cake!
Cute!!!!
