Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes

Serves: 10

Ditch the spiced pumpkin latte, there's a new kid on the block!

40g of unsalted butter, room temperature

120g of plain flour

140g of caster sugar

1 ½ tsp. of baking powder

120ml of milk

1 egg

1 tsp of ground all spice

1 tsp of vanilla paste

1 small munchkin pumpkin, finely grated

80g of unsalted butter, room temperature

160g of icing sugar

1 tsp of ground cinnamon

1 tbsp. of honey

Orange food colouring

Edible glitter to garnish

Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas 3 and line a cupcake tray with 10 paper cases.
In a bowl, add the butter, flour, caster sugar and baking powder and using an electric whisk, mix until it forms into a sandy mixture.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, vanilla paste and all spice and slowly add to the mixture, mixing until you’ve formed a batter. Fold in the grated pumpkin.
Pour the batter into your cupcake cases, about a heaped tablespoon in each and bake in the middle of the oven for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden and springy to the touch. Remove from the oven allow to rest for 5 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool fully.
To make the icing, whisk together the butter, icing sugar, honey and cinnamon together until smooth. Add as much orange food colouring as you’d like and transfer the mix to the fridge to set until firm.
Ice the cupcakes any which way you’d like and garnish with some edible gold glitter.
