It's National Cupcake Day!
Day 7 of 12 Days of Christmas Goodies
Here's the list of the 12 Days of Christmas Goodies in case you need an idea (or two) for baking this year!
Day 1 - White Chocolate Spice Cookies
I hate saying this over and over again that "this or that" is another favorite in our house. But you have to know I ONLY post the good stuff and this will make it into that forever growing "favorite cookbook"! I was looking for a pumpkin flavor somethin' or other and came across these cupcakes. (I have to say I cheated a little on my 12 Days of Christmas Goodies, as I have NOT made these since Thanksgiving). They were just SOOOOO yummy and I had to share the recipe with all of you and I HOPE to be making these again soon (and of course will decorate with some festive Christmas sprinkles). But for now this photo will have to do!
Day 2 - Munchable Mice
Day 3 - Red Velvet Cake Balls
Day 12 - White Cranberry Crunch Bark

3/4 cup pumpkin puree
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

2 1/2 cups flour

Mix oil, sugars, eggs, buttermilk, pumpkin and vanilla together with a mixer on low until completely mixed. In a seperate bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt. Add the flour 1/2 cup at a time until done. Stir in the cranberries. Scoop into cupcake tins lined with papers and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes!
I have found my FAVORITE Cream Cheese frosting. And this has been a LONG process. I love how thick this frosting is and I love the tatse!
