¾ cup pumpkin ale (I used Dogfish Head's Punkin Ale)
2 eggs
½ tsp cinnamon
8 ounces cream cheese, cold
5 TBS unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tsps vanilla
2½ cups powdered sugar
2 tsps pumpkin spice (more or less as desired)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
Spoon batter into cupcake liners until ⅔ full.
Bake cupcakes for 19-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Cool completely and make the frosting.
Beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add in ⅓ of the powdered sugar at a time, mixing until smooth.
Add in pumpkin spice, mixing until fully blended.
This recipe will give you stiff frosting that is easily piped onto a cupcake. Cut a hole in the bottom corner of a plastic bag, and fill with the frosting. Frost cupcakes then top with a quick shake of pumpkin spice.
