Who could resist a pumpkin spice latte? Since it can only be bought at this time of year, it might just be even more delicious. I took the latte as my inspiration and created fall Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes. They consist of fluffy pumpkin sponge cake batter, delicious mascarpone cream and whipped cream icing, and of course, cinnamon on top can’t be missed. This cupcake recipe is actually a combination of two recipes on the blog that I like very much – the pumpkin cake bars and the icing is made from oreo cupcakes. As for the batter, it’s a really fluffy cupcake batter that is made with homemade pumpkin hokkaido puree and various spices like cinnamon and ginger. This batter is great for cupcakes, a sheet cake, or any cake. And have I already said – it’s really fluffy. We continue the pumpkin spice latte inspiration in the icing. Since this latte contain lots of whipped cream, this icing for cupcakes also consists of whipped cream and mascarpone. It may seem like an overly simple icing to some, but with a little vanilla, it accents the spiced batter beautifully. The cinnamon has to go on top of the cupcake, otherwise they wouldn’t be proper pumpkin spice latte cupcakes. Just the perfect fall dessert that goes together with a cup of coffee.
