Pumpkin cupcakes ## How to make pumpkin cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare 12 muffin cups (grease them and dust with flour). Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt together into a bowl. In the bowl of a mixer, cream the butter with the sugar until fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. Add the vanilla extract, mix, and scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed. Continuing to mix on low speed, add the pumpkin puree alternating with the flour (in 3 additions), beginning and ending with the flour. Pour the batter into the muffin cups, level it out, and bake on the middle rack of the oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. **Farmer's cheese frosting:** In the bowl of a mixer, beat the farmer's cheese until smooth, add the butter and beat until creamy. Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar and beat for about 2 minutes, until the frosting is light. Transfer to a piping bag and decorate the cooled cupcakes. At the end you can sprinkle them with crushed, toasted nuts. Enjoy!
