Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcakes (Starbucks cupcakes) from Cookies Cupcakes and Cardio

Hi everybody, this is Jen from Cookies, Cupcakes and Cardio.com. Today I'm going to be taking the super popular pumpkin spice latte drink and I'm going to be turning it into a cupcake. This is a delicious fall recipe and it's right around the corner. To make the cupcakes we're going to be using two eggs, half a cup of vegetable oil. Now on this little plate I have one teaspoon of baking powder, one teaspoon of baking soda and half a teaspoon of salt and over here for the spices I have half a teaspoon of cinnamon and then two different like piles and they're just under an eighth of a teaspoon each of cloves and nutmeg and then in here I have one and a half tablespoons of espresso powder and you can find that with the coffee and the tea in your grocery store. I have eight ounces of pumpkin puree, I have half a cup of white sugar, half a cup of brown sugar, one and one third cup of the all-purpose flour and then for the icing I'm going to be using caramel sauce and then we're just going to be making a whipping cream one and I'm going to be using two cups of whipping cream and a quarter cup of icing sugar. We're going to be using the stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment I'm going to put in my pumpkin puree. Now the eight ounces of pumpkin puree is about half of a can and so if you want to double up this recipe it's a really easy one too and I'm also going to put in my sugars here and then I'm just going to give that a little mix. Next we're going to add our oil with the mixer on low and each of the eggs one at a time. So we're going to combine these dry ingredients here in my bowl of flour so I'm putting in my espresso powder and then my baking powder, baking soda and salt and my spices and then just using a whisk I'm just going to whisk it up. Now that my dry ingredients are mixed together I'm going to pour them into my wet batter and then I'm just going to mix it on low until it is combined. Now that our batter is all mixed together I'm taking my muffin scoop and I'm going to just scoop into my lined cupcake pan here. So these are going to bake at 350 degrees and it's going to be for about 20 minutes. To make our icing what we're going to be using today is just whipping cream so I'm putting my whipping cream in here and you want to get your whipping cream to be nice and stiff before you add in your sugar so I'm going to whip it until it is that consistency. My whipping cream is nice and stiff now so I'm going to put in my icing sugar. Now if you don't want it to be that sweet you don't need to use the full quarter of a cup you can use a couple tablespoons that's up to you. So I'm going to mix that in and then it'll be ready for putting on top of the cupcakes. Once your cupcakes are completely cool you can put your whipping cream on top. So I've just got a just a standard star tip here. I'm just going to squeeze in the center to build height and then I'm going to go around the outside and end in the center. Now if you're doing a true kind of latte topping you know that you get a little bit of caramel on top. So just drizzle a little bit of caramel on there and you have a pumpkin spice latte cupcake. So I'm going to do a couple more and be back to show you the finished cupcakes. So there you go everybody how to make pumpkin spice latte cupcakes. If you're not a coffee lover you can leave out the espresso powder and they're just as good they're just a pumpkin spice cupcake instead.
