A one-bowl recipe, these perfect pumpkin pies are soft and fluffy and topped with cracked cream cheese.
These delicious cookies have just the right amount of spice to compliment the pumpkin flavor and are firmly tested for the soft, light texture of the cake. They are the bearers!
A few key ingredients
While the Cumake cake recipe includes your basic, everyday baking ingredients, there are a few very important special ingredients that work well. Be careful!
- Marked pumpkin: This recipe uses a whole pumpkin. If you reduce the recipe for 12 cakes, you will use SCAN 1 Cup (213 g).
- Eggs and egg yolks: Take the time to separate the two egg yolks from the recipe. The addition of egg yolks and whole eggs produces a light and fluffy cupcake that is very moist and has a structure that holds well to the frosting.
- Oil: Use a neutral neutral for a strong flavor in cakes. Oil produces a lighter, fluffier texture than butter in these cakes.
- Pantry Spices: Instead of using Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend, this recipe balances some spices for a more balanced flavor. All spices are easily available through grocery stores if you don’t have them in your pantry you already have them.
Special frosting: Whipped cream cheese frosting calls for 1 tablespoon sour cream. I’ve been adding sour cream to freezer cream cheese for years. It revolutionizes Cream Cheese Frosting for the better, handling the craziness of cream cheese while balancing the perfect sweetness. Don’t skip!
Different Ways to Eat Snow Pumpkin Cakes
The amount of frosting in the recipe is enough to run the cupcakes with a piping tip. If you’re piping really tall stacks of cupcakes, you might want to consider upping the frosting ingredients by 1/2, but otherwise it should be enough.
Frosting Ideas:
- Use an offset spatula or butter knife to spread the frosting in soft layers across the cakes.
- Fit a piping bag with a Wilton 2A tip and fill with frosting; pipe to Smooth circles of friing (start at the outer edges and move inwards). This is how I pipe the frosting on the cakes pictured in the post.
- For the frosting swirl, fit a piping bag with a Wilton 1m tip, fill with frosting and pipe in a circle on top of the cake.
The tops of the cakes can be left plain or decorated with sprinkles, candy pumpkins, or a light dusting of cinnamon.
A few more tips
For these cakes, be sure to:
- Fill only the cupcakes (or more than half) full of long perfect cupcakes that don’t spill over the edges of the lips.
- Watch the baking time carefully! Over-baked cakes are dry; Bake the cupcakes until the tops slightly spring back to the touch.
- Wait until the cakes cool completely before slicing.
- Have an exit plan Cakes, because trust me, you can find yourself powerless against charms, and I don’t know about you, but having 24 cakes is staring me down the worst.
Make-Ahead: The cakes can be made, cooled, and come out up to a day in advance. If you do, store in the fridge, lightly covered (so the frosting isn’t whipped). Take them out an hour or so before serving to let them chill a bit.
After many tests, I can say that these are really the best pumpkin cakes! Perfectly made, perfectly fluffy, perfectly frozen. A delicious, quitessential dessert, it can work anywhere from an afternoon snack (who, me?) to a Halloween meal thanks to Dessert Differt. Enjoy!
