These pumpkin cupcakes were always a hit at the Farmer’s Market I used to sell in. It’s the perfect balance of dense but still moist and light and not too sweet.
Click here for a video tutorial for the cupcakes.
I bake them directly in these beautiful black and gold aluminum foil cups that make transporting and selling cupcakes so convenient. They are perfectly cupcake sized, comes with lids, and sturdy! Even though I’m not selling anymore, I’m still sure to always keep them stocked for my tres leches cakes and taking desserts whenever I visit friends.
