Pumpkin spice latte cupcakes

So here it is, the greatly anticipated Pumpkin Spice Latte cupcakes! I love anything with pumpkin it! It feels so fall-ish! These are the moistest cupcakes I have EVER made. If you want to see the original recipe you can see it here, but I didn't exactly stick to it... also, if you want some great recipes then subscribe to Annie's Eats (where I got this from)! So, heres how it went!
What you need:
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
In the original it says to use all the spices for the pumpkin. I just used like 2ish table spoons of the "pumpkin pie" spice. Im such a cheater! 
1 tsp. salt
1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin puree- I used the kind that was already spiced. Not the puree, but the kind you can cheat with and just pour into a pie dish ;)
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup  vegetable oil
4 large eggs
It also calls for espresso powder- 3 tbs-but I wanted to make them a little more kid friendly. Can you imagine my kids with caffeine?? No thank you! Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and pumpkin spice. Stir well. Then combine all the other ingredients. If you have a great mixer use it!  Slowly add the flour mixture to the puree. When its all mixed it should look kinda like this

Pour them into the cupcake wrappers. Bake at 350 for about 20 mins. If you fill the wrappers more than half way then you will need more bake time. 

To make the frosting you will need
2 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream that has been in the fridge for at least an hour(chilled)
1/2 powdered sugar
This is by far the hardest part. Whisk the heavy cream slowly then add the powdered sugar a little at a time. Whisk it until it creates stiff peaks. It should look like frosting but more fluffy. Now you can make it pretty by using a decorating bag and tip to frost them. The whipped cream has to be COLD and it warms up quickly. I had to quit halfway through... refrigerate the whipped cream and then come back and finish up. You can add caramel drizzle and cinnamon. I got a little impatient and only put cinnamon.

I had no fall colored cupcake wrappers! Only bright ones, but I kinda like how they looked.

These were a huge hit at my house! I left some unfrosted and they go great with a cup of coffee in the morning. Hope you are welcoming fall with open arms!
