My family loves these cupcakes. I even brought them into work, and the ladies are still raving about them. Instead of doing the brown butter frosting, I made a standard cream cheese frosting. It just seemed more appealing to me. Terrific recipe!

This is the pumpkin cake I now make every year. It is great as a 3 layer cake with pumpkin frosting. I didnt have much luck with the brown butter frosting, but sure it would be good if made exactly as recipe.

My children said those look delicious. Everyone at church ate them up. Several church members said that the buttercream icing kept calling their name. A great hit. I do not like pumpkin and I loved these cupcakes as well. I did alter the icing by using one less cup of icing. Awesome recipe!

What a light and fluffy cake! I only had three eggs left when I made this but it didn't matter! The cake was so light and fluffy and flavorful. The brown butter buttercream is so silky and smooth. I used bourbon instead of vanilla extract and probably used less confectioner's sugar because I go by taste and consistency, only 3 Tbsp of buttermilk. Made these for a football gameday get together. Big hit!!!

BEST. CUPCAKES. EVER.
Could have used more spices in the batter, but still absolutely INCREDIBLE.
The end.

I doubled the amount of pumpkin because I love the taste :. I added a cinnamon cream cheese filling to the middle as well. These cupcakes came out amazing!!!
