Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

This is a wonderful recipe for several reasons: the cupcakes are super moist in addition to tender, they are mildly spiced in addition to the batter goes together amongst ane bowl in addition to a whisk; what could move easier? They are thence tasty, that they actually don't ask a frosting, although I similar to serve them frosted amongst a unproblematic maple flavored butter cream (pumpkin in addition to maple are MADE for each other). Everyone loves these unproblematic cupcakes!!

After the cupcakes hit got cooled, dust the tops amongst powdered saccharide or frost amongst your favorite frosting.

I never mensurate my "everyday" frosting, simply here's a stab at it:
