Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes

A couple of weeks ago I posted an amazing Spice Cupcake recipe that I took to a party with Alex’s coworkers. I also made a batch of these and took them too! I wanted to cover my bases with a wide variety of cupcake flavors and this certainly complemented the spice cupcakes. I love pumpkin anything and these cupcakes are no different. They have a wonderful spicy pumpkin flavor in a delectable chocolate cupcake base. They are super easy to make and would be a fantastic addition to your fall cupcake lineup.I made these with my last bag of frozen pumpkin puree from last fall’s pumpkin. The batter when you use fresh pumpkin is a little wetter than if you use canned so make sure you take that into account when making these. If the batter seems a bit wet to you make sure to add more flour. The consistency should be that of regular cupcake batter. If you use canned pumpkin you may want to add slightly less flour than called for, just to be sure your cupcakes aren’t overly dry.[amd-yrecipe-recipe:235]Source: Cake adapted from Kiss My Bundt – Chrysta Wilson
