Instructions

Get all your ingredients ready. Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a 24-muffin tin by greasing it or lining each cup with paper liners.
For the pumpkin cupcakes: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, allspice, baking soda, and salt. Set the mixture aside.
In another large bowl, cream together the white sugar, 1/2 cup of butter, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well beaten in. Mix in the pumpkin puree and milk. Gently fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 of the way.
Place in the preheated oven and bake until the tops bounce back when lightly touched, approximately 25 minutes. Allow cooling in the muffin tins for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
Prepare the frosting: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and 1/4 cup of butter with an electric mixer until completely smooth. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, beating until fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon; beat until light and fluffy.
Once the cupcakes are cooled, frost them generously with the prepared cream cheese frosting.
Serve and enjoy your delicious pumpkin cupcakes!
